Não eraofinal que eu queria, mas ainda bem que tem uma continuação eu só não sei se o Kit cai ser o mesmo depois de tudo o que aconteceu com ele. Mas a Iris não vai desistir tão facil assim do seu ex-rival !!!

Iris Winnow is a young typist at a newspaper in the city of Oath, competing for a columnist position against the infuriatingly talented Roman Kitt. But Iris has more pressing worries: her brother has vanished to the front of a war between the gods Enva and Dacre, and her mother is drinking herself into ruin. When Iris begins slipping letters beneath her wardrobe door, they are magically delivered to a stranger who writes back — a correspondence that becomes her one source of comfort, and whose author's identity she cannot guess.

When Iris leaves the newspaper to work as a war correspondent, she travels to the small town of Avalon Bluff, close to the fighting, determined to find her brother and report the truth of a conflict most people would rather ignore. There the war stops being an abstraction, and the connection she has built through her letters follows her in ways she never expected.

The first book in Rebecca Ross's Letters of Enchantment duology, Divine Rivals blends a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with a lightly historical, roughly early-twentieth-century setting and a mythology of feuding gods. It is a story about writing as a way of reaching another person, and about the ordinary courage of those caught up in a war they did not choose.
