A child never meant to be. A power never meant to rise. A worldbreaker, born of love and ruin.They told her she was ordinary.They lied.Hidden deep in the forests of Maine, Selena Bell has spent her life keeping to the edges—quiet, invisible, unremarkable. Or so she thought. But when three strangers arrive in her small town, everything changes.They don’t just bring answers. They bring a warning.Selena isn’t mortal. She is Semper. Power in human skin. A force the world should’ve destroyed before it ever drew breath.Marked by magic older than the world itself, caught between the seductive chaos of the Fallen and the brutal order of the Blessed, Selena is thrown into a realm of vicious trials, monstrous enemies, and ancient courts that see her as a threat and a weapon to claim.And then there’s him. Charming, untamed, and infuriatingly irresistible.Her power is growing. Her enemies are circling. And every step forward pulls her deeper into a fate she never chose and may not be able to escape.Because the only thing more dangerous than what’s coming for her is what she’s becoming.--"The Trials of Browid by Stephanie Bosshard offers a vivid blend of epic fantasy confrontations and romantic depth. For readers drawn to expansive magical worlds and the intensity of a love forged amid danger and destiny, this novel is a captivating choice." – Chanticleer Book Reviews"The romance is organically unfurled with some seriously swoony moments that can only happen when powers interact through the tattoos. Action is fierce, from wing training and hemomancy, to blood-and-mud stuck to hair, introducing trials and gold daggered fight scenes... Bosshard’s writing is on a constant throttle forward, and I'm excited to see where we go next. Very highly recommended." – Readers' Favorite Read more
