Emily Varga

Lovers-to-enemies as you've never seen it before, Emily Varga's YA romantasy debut For She is Wrath is the epic tale of a girl escaped from prison and hell-bent on revenge. Betrayed by her ex-lover and falsely imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, Dania counts down the days until she can exact her revenge. When a fellow prisoner offers a chance at escape and the keys to a dangerous Jinn magic, Dania seizes the opportunity and, armed with a brand-new identity and all the power she could want, enacts a plan to bring down those who betrayed her and her family. But the one person standing in her way is the very man who signed her life away in the first place, and retribution becomes a complicated game of cat and mouse. Because sometimes betrayal isn’t as simple as it seems and revenge certainly isn’t as easy – not when your heart is involved. Prepare to be swept away in this epic and romantic gender-flipped retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo by debut author Emily Varga.

For She is Wrath

Aimee :)

And he lit it on fire and smiled as I burned with it.

My heart splintered, knowing that she had no one left, that she was alone now, and I still had people who loved me.

I clasped her hands in the boat, and it rocked with the force of my movement. "You're my family now too."

This time, I would be the one in control, I would be the one to watch as his entire life crumbled. I took a moment to center myself before walking off the edge of the cliff, letting a slow breath run through me. Then, I made my expression a pleasant mask.

This was who I would become in front of him. A sweet, beautiful confection.

And when he bit into the honeyed sugar, it would be poison filling his mouth.

He seemed ro take my silence as assent, and he continued. "Ta read you like scripture, a prayer: And all the worship I felt, I'd heap at your feet." His words were low, like he was actually praying, or reciting an incantation of the djinn, words for whispering magic and power.
