When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.

After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette.

To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish—into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.

Shadow and Bone meets Lore in Rebecca Ross's Divine Rivals, an epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel filled with hope and heartbreak, and the unparalleled power of love.

Beautiful story and definitely in my top three favs

Extremely well written enemies to lovers with a bit of a slow burn. This book had me giggling and kicking my feet at some points. Definitely looking forward to the second book.

Chokehold

I couldn’t put it down. This book has changed my star scale for 2024. All of my 5 star books are now 4 stars. It is a beautiful story. I devoured it in a day, it is lovely and horrifying and heartbreaking.

Whimsical love story fighting for a chance while torn by war

I enjoyed the fantasy and magical setting throughout the theme of the book, it somewhat reminded me of Harry Potter with magical letters and trains. The love story itself felt true and relatable to a real love story that would’ve taken place in the late 1800s during the civil war. A few moments felt slow but essentially added to the overall development of the story. It was a great read, moving onto book 2 in the duology ~Ruthless Vows~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8.3/10

Perect

This is a perfect fantasy romance. The VAs were excellent and immersive. Best book I’ve listened to this year.
