Cinder Vale

Fate doesn't favour the wicked. In the third book of Sins of the Zodiac, a spin-off set in the world of Zodiac Academy, war has swept across the realms and the Fae at its heart may be beyond redemption.

Everest Arcadia has awakened as the Void and left Kaiser Brimtheon for dead on the battlefield, while Septa Thorngrove travels with the Avanis nobles to the conquered city of Cinder Vale, now ruled by Earl Tarlord.

In Stormfell, Vesper Dragonsbane is bound to a king who uses her and the captive Dragon Bastian for his own ends, even as she burns for revenge.

Dark, vengeful and full of forbidden pull between people who should hate each other, it is a villainous romantasy by sisters Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. The 688-page hardcover was published by King's Hollow on March 31, 2026, and is also available as an audiobook.
