Because the Gods Left: An Epic Romantic Fantasy (Wells of Istri)
First published 2026
The final book in the Wells of Istri duology is here! This epic romantic fantasy delivers even bigger stakes, forbidden romance, and a dangerous world pushing them towards destruction. To save their world, they must stand together. But loving each other will destroy it. After toppling a brutal military gang, Iryana is ready to claim her role as heir. To survive the growing threat of the beasts, she must unite her clan with the military brigade, chasing a delicate peace that is her only path to Pyetar. But peace has shallow roots in a kingdom still bleeding. As frost creeps into the valley, blood-black poppies bloom, bringing hordes of beasts that no longer kill on instinct but hunt with intent. Working together, the forbidden pull between them is undeniable.
