Heart of the World - From the Author of the Isles of the Gods

Magic and sacrifice collide as lovers and gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world in this heart pounding sequel to The Isles of the Gods.

When SELLY and LEANDER began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain's daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened. They fell in love.

Leander's ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life and drew the goddess Barrica back from exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander is imbued with her deadly magic and only Selly's presence can stop it from consuming him. But Barrica wasn't the only immortal roused from sleep. The God of Risk, Macean, was awakened by an enemy all thought dead, and across the sea he's calling for war.

The fight to save their world will take Selly and Leander from the gilded ballroom of the royal palace to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines will be drawn and bonds will break. With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry rulers straining their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?
