Tournament of Hearts

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
