To survive is to sacrifice your own heart.
Lady Lyriana Batavia is third in line to the Seat of Power in Bamaria. And with the most eligible bachelor and master mage, Lord Tristan Grey, soon to be her fiancé - life is perfect.
But at the ceremony that should have revealed her power, she uncovers something else entirely - Lyr is powerless. Faced with uncertainty, Lyr has no choice but to accept a deadly offer. She has seven months to train as one of the kingdom's most brutal warriors - the Sotrui - and survive training at the academy.
Now, Lyr must earn her place in Bamaria and train with the exiled Lord Rhyan Hart - the man she had secretly loved since she was a girl - and a feared warrior, forbidden to her in every way. For Lyr, surviving training may mean sacrificing her own heart.
Daughter of the Drowned Empire is the first book in a sensational romantic series featuring a riches-to-rags heroine, dangerous court politics, and a forbidden slow-burn romance. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Danielle L. Jensen, and Rebecca Yarros.
'One fantastical world. One fierce heroine to take it down! Daughter of the Drowned Empire is sexy, thrilling, and pure magic!' Cecy Robson, author of Bloodguard

Underrated!
I'm a self proclaimed romantasy expert and this ticks all the boxes. It takes you a little while to get into the story due to the complexities of the world building and unfamiliar terminology that you normally find it fantasy books, but once you understand it and the plot kicks in it is thoroughly enjoyable.
As most fantasy-romances go, the FMC's inner monologue can sometimes be slightly irritating which is why I gave this 4 stars, rather than 5, but overall I think this is a story that deserves to be given a chance and I will definitely be buying the second book.
The narrator is excellent, however does talk rather quickly, especially for the complexities of the world building, so I recommend listening to this on a speed of 0.85/0.90. A great audiobook if you are a fan of ACOTAR, FBAA, Cruel Prince, Bridged Kingdom, Bargainer Series etc.
