They may fall, but she will rise.

Cyra of Fernweh is perfectly content to spend her days making wine on her family’s vineyard after being left there as an infant twenty-two years earlier. Those in the outer lands are not especially hospitable to anyone with magic, so only her brothers know that Cyra uses her meager elemental gifts to light stove fires and water crops around the vineyard. When her life is threatened one day, however, Cyra draws on a much greater magic she didn’t know she possessed to save herself. In doing so, she accidentally lands herself in trouble with the Triumvirate Lords of Thasia.

Torn from her home and summoned before the lords, including the dangerous and feared Lord Bressen, Cyra learns that a seer’s vision predicted she will cause the downfall of the Triumvirate. With the help of Samhail, a huge warrior who gives new meaning to the idea of rock-hard muscles, Cyra is forced to navigate a world of power, passion, and political intrigue to discover how she’s involved in the coming crisis before the lords decide to remove her as a threat to their power and their lives.

As old enemies emerge to settle grudges and new ones prove willing to do anything for their ambition, what Cyra discovers about herself and her growing powers could put her in more danger than she ever dreamed possible. Fighting for her life, though, may prove easier than fighting her desires.

The Last Triumvirate is Book 1 of a six-book series. Book 2 is anticipated in Summer 2024

"This book was perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout."

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic Adventure with intrigue and romance
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024

Read this twice. Second time was even better than the first. The author wove a great tale of fantasy, romance, magic, and intrigue against a fantastic backdrop of a larger world. It's a good easy read that , despite having 500 pages, leaves you wanting more.
With a strong female protagonist who has a wit that reminds you of earlier days of movies and television with the snappy banter, this book offers a lust to love romance that readers of Sarah J Maas will thoroughly enjoy.
For those who enjoy reading political intrigue, the love triangle is set against a mysterious backdrop of magic as Cyra's powers awaken and an a seer's vision that threatens the Triumvirate Lords. The last chapter and epilogue promise for more to come. Can't wait for the next chapter

I found this author's writing style easy to read. And for me, if I find myself thinking about the characters or a scenario hours after I've read it, that means it's resonated with me somehow and makes me want to get back to the book ASAP!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Start for this New Author

Whenever you delve into a new series, you have many questions....will I like this book, what will the characters be like, will it capture my attention enough? Etc. Etc....
Well, I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly engaged at the authors first go around. I read The Last Triumvirate in about a weeks' time which is very quick for me. I kept thinking, I really want to see what's happening next, I can't wait to figure out who is for real and who is the secret antagonist in this book. I am looking for to the next one and seeing how the story will develop and hope I will enjoy #2 as much as I enjoyed the first one.
So, If you like a little smut, a little sexy time, and a little fantasy to go with it. Definitely give this a go.

This book had me hooked from start to finish. I haven't been this engaged in a book for a long time. The pacing is incredible, with a perfect balance of fast and slow that never made me feel over or underwhelmed. The magic system is super interesting and the characters are well thought out. The world itself is incredibly well developed while still leaving room for future books to explore it more. I cannot wait for more books in this series!!!!! Also, I'm not normally drawn to books with romance, but this was super well done. If you're considering buying this book, definitely do it

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic, Engaging book
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024

Wow - this book is legitimately on of the best, most engaging books I've read in a while. It hooked me nearly immediately, and I haven't been able to put it down since.

The characters are fully fleshed out and really interesting, I'd fallen in love with a number of then when I was barely a tenth of the way through the book. The humor is sassy, sly, sarcastic, dry, and unexpected in turns, but it's been making me laugh throughout. The fantasy world is complex and interesting, and avoids the trap of a brick wall of exposition you can find in some fantasy stories.

The author really knows how to build tension, hooking the reader in, ramping up the tension, the excitement, knowing when to lessen it at the right times with some humor or romance, then go straight back to keeping you on the edge of your seat. She has a gift for really making you invest in the characters, seeing this from her main character Cyra's point of view, and subverting your expectations and avoiding the easy or the expedient response in favor of a richer, more complex one.

I really can't wait to see what happens, where we go from here. I haven't traditionally been big into fantasy romance fiction, but this book has HOOKED me, and can't let me go. A splendid first outing from the author, and I hope her writing career flourishes so I can keep reading her books for many years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
This was a great story, I was pulled in from the very beginning. Lots of hidden gems and a variety of different kinds of magic. It was a good balance of all the things I look for in a book. All the characters were great but there is something special about characters who can manifest wings.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soooooo Gooooood!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024

This book was fantastic!!!! It was a great storyline with wonderful twists and quite a few surprises. This fantasy world is so fully and well developed that you can tell there is a whole plethora of details beneath the surface just waiting to be discovered or puzzled out. The prologue sucks you in at the beginning and makes you fall in love with a secondary character that ends up making you fall in love with the primary character. (who is a strong a** woman that stands up for herself and is snappy a heck!!!!) Last but not least: Here there be smut! And well written smut, I might add! This story covers the whole breath of a developing relationship with just the right amount of loving and bickering. The amount of love and care put into this story shines through throughout.

Overall. I adored this book and am looking forward to rereading it to see what details I can pick up that I missed.
