A runaway TikTok sensation, Heavenly Bodies is the first book in a dazzling new romantasy series that blends Greek mythology and shadow magic with a tantalizing enemies-to-lovers romance that will rewrite the stars.
“You know the most dangerous kind of villain? A woman with nothing left to lose.”
In a world ruled by the cruel and merciless Stars, Elara has been cursed by fate. A prophecy promises she will fall for a Star, but that it will kill them both.
So when Ariete, Star of Wrath, War and Chaos, descends to wreak havoc on Elara’s kingdom, she flees her home—the Kingdom of Night—for the neighbouring Helios, Kingdom of Light.
And strides straight into the arms of an enemy prince.
Fearing that Ariete might turn his sights to Helios next, Prince Lorenzo is forced to train Elara as a weapon—one worthy of battling against the tyrannical reign of the Stars. But there are shadows even within the Kingdom of Light—and they threaten to reveal the darkness in Lorenzo’s past and the ancient magic that slumbers in Elara’s veins.
And with it all comes an undeniable, star-crossed pull between Elara and Lorenzo that neither can seem to resist...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A god destroys kingdoms to win over a mortal in Erriu's solid but familiar romantasy series launch set in a world governed by personified stars. Human princess Elara Bellereve of Asteria flees the Star Ariete after he discovers the prophecy that they are meant to fall in love—a romance that, it's foretold, neither will survive. Soon after Ariete murders Elara's parents for hiding Elara from him, she's kidnapped by the neighboring kingdom of Helios. There, she's trained by King Idris D'Oro and his son, Prince Enzo, to serve as a weapon against Ariete in their war on the Stars. In the process, Elara and Enzo strike up a predictable, slow-burning enemies-to-lovers romance. Meanwhile, to defeat Ariete and avenge her family, Elara must overcome a childhood trauma and unleash an ancient power that has long been hidden. Not much is done with the celestial worldbuilding, and the plotting, while competent, feels paint-by-numbers. Sarah J. Maas fans seeking more of the same will eat this up, but there's little here that feels fresh.
