Mona can name anyone's soulmate—but she'll do anything to avoid being matched with her own. Especially when she learns he's the king.
Blessed by the gods, Mona Arnett has the unique ability to divine soulmates, but she refuses to seek out her own—until she learns the king is dying without an heir, threatening the royal line and the world's access to magic. Tasked with naming his future queen, Mona discovers the king's soulmate is ... her.
A royal match is the last thing Mona wants—especially when she starts falling for the king's closest advisor—so she lies, cheats, and contends with scheming gods to hide the truth. But when this high-stakes game of thrones leads to murder, survival and the fate of the kingdom will depend on her finding the courage to face her destiny.
This debut romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros delivers sizzling romance, cutthroat competition, a lush fantasy world, and an unforgettable heroine.

"Divine Mortals has all the wit and banter of the best romances, set in an eerie, atmospheric fantasy realm where murderers could strike at any moment and the fate of the world is at stake. Funny, delightful, dark, and magical all the way through." —Robin Wasley, author of Dead Things Are Closer Than They Appear
"With whimsical charm, sweeping romance, and a pantheon of snarky and fickle gods, Divine Mortals has all the magic of a fantasy classic-in-the-making. Mona is one of the most lovable, messily human protagonists I've ever read—you will fall madly in love with her and with this book." —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times best-selling author of A Study in Drowning
"An absolute delight! Mona is a heroine after my own heart, navigating court intrigue, divine machinations, and an opposites-attract romance with crass humor and an iron will. With wit, whimsy, and fantastic worldbuilding, Divine Mortals will pull you in—and you might never want to resurface." —Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic
