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.Send us a Text Message.Have a question about today's book or author?

Unveiling the Depths of 'Ruthless Vows': A Comprehensive Discussion In this comprehensive episode of the Thank Gods It's Fantasy Podcast, hosts Kayla, Veronica, and Bryanna explore 'Ruthless Vows' by Rebecca Ross, the final book in the Letters of Enchantment duology, with an emphasis on character development, plot revelations, and the emotional journey of the story. They dissect themes such as love, sacrifice, moral complexities, captivity, freedom, and the fabric of divine versus human dynamics. Key discussions include the unexpected survival of a character, the climactic battle, personal losses, and the nuanced conclusion of the book, alongside speculative topics like return to Avalon Bluff, pregnancy theories, the role of Dacre's Day, and the potential of magic in changing the characters' lives. The episode is rich with spoilers, in-depth analyses, and engages listeners with theories about the characters' futures, the impact of immortality, and the significance of freedom, inviting a profound connection to the narrative's emotional and philosophical layers.

Rebecca Ross joins us on Virtual Book Tour to discuss her duology - Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows. We had a magical time talking about the duality that lives in all of us, why romantasy is a genre capturing readers, and how Rebecca's love of fantasy started. In this epic follow-up to Divine Rivals, Iris has returned from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. As the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together, the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.  Get Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows at bookofthemonth.com.
