In a world where magic is forbidden and destinies are rewritten, two souls find themselves bound by a trial that will change their lives forever. Rhea, a lonely elementary school teacher, leads a quiet life, unaware of the enchanting secrets hidden within the realms of the fae. Little does she know that her world is about to collide with a forbidden love that defies the very fabric of fae society. Enter Aramis, a male fae who dares to practice magic deemed illegal by the ironclad laws of their kingdom. When he is caught in the act and faces the daunting judgment of the fae council, the stage is set for a trial like no other. Condemned by tradition and fear, Aramis is tasked with a perilous mission: to summon the future queen, a feat that has eluded even the most powerful members of the council. With the odds stacked against him and his life hanging in the balance, Aramis embarks on a treacherous journey through realms, determined to complete the impossible. Destiny has its own plans, and Rhea's path becomes intertwined with Aramis's in ways neither of them could have imagined. Their love story becomes a battleground for freedom, and the stakes are higher than ever before. Reviewers say: "Two fated souls that not even different worlds can keep separated. Tournament of Hearts is a story full of magic(k) and hope where love becomes the ultimate shield. Austin Valenzuela's world building and romance aspects are some of the most refreshing things I've read in a long time. This book will capture you from page one and you'll beg to have more as soon as you get to the last sentence." - Letizia Firmani, Author of The Crown's Soul Prophecy "Tournament of Hearts has the perfect amount of angst and suspense while subverting the classic fantasy plot line of a female in a male dominated field. It has one of the most interesting magic systems I've ever read and the romance is *chef's kiss* perfection. This is a must read for any romantic fantasy lover!" - @redbullandkindle

On the day of the vernal equinox, the fifth years of St. Daemonus are initiated into pastordom only after successfully sacrificing a dragon. In doing so, they become blessed, fusing a bit of the draconic spirit with their soul. Rebekah is ready to become a renowned apostle at the cost of one measly dragon's life. She passes the equinox test with flying colors, soon discovering that Lord Jericho has greater plans for her. The Lord of St. Daemonus wishes her to become his primary servant-a powerful, blessed pastor who protects her Lord. Rebekah agrees, and pastors lead her to the harbor, where she will conduct a final, more necessary sacrifice. The last thing Isaac's father left him with before shipping him to St. Daemonus was a notebook depicting an era when pastors lived in peace with dragons. Yet, because of the world around him, Isaac throws the notebook away and chooses to take the equinox test. When he fails miserably in front of his classmates, he bears one last glance at his father's notebook, discovering a bigger secret about the Lord's plan to sacrifice a student at the island's harbor, during the dark hours of equinox night. While the world is rewarding Isaac for every little step he takes, his best friend, Boyd, has always been aware of Lord Jericho's ultimate power over the church. In time, though he doesn't want to, he'll eventually have to leave his best friend behind because of his childish incompetence. After all, Isaac had taken the equinox test and sacrificed a dragon. His soul might be tainted. He might even be working with Jericho. In Isaac's Blessing, three rogue students escape from the church of St. Daemonus while the horror surrounding them evolves into more than deceit.
