Book Synopsis
“A Tribute of Fire is a must-read…” ―Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times and international bestselling author.
The fate of a cursed nation depends on a princess who must outwit a mortal enemy and outlast the trials of a death-defying ritual in a thrilling adventure by USA Today bestselling author Sariah Wilson.
Lia is the princess of Locris, a dying desert nation cursed centuries ago by an earth goddess―one still worshipped by the thriving and adversarial nation of Ilion. Every year, Ilion offers the goddess a sacrifice: two Locrian maidens forced to compete in a life-and-death race to reach her temple. In a millennium, no maiden has made it out of Ilion alive. This year, Lia is one of the hunted.
An education in battle gives her a fighting chance, but the challenges are greater than she feared: Lia’s beloved but untrained sister Quynh has been put in the path of danger. The winding streets of Ilion itself have been transformed into a labyrinthine maze of countless choices and dead ends. And if the risks weren’t significant enough, Lia is reluctantly drawn to the commandingly attractive Jason, an Ilionian sailor she loathes to trust and desires like no man before.
The tribute game is on. It’s up to Lia to lift the goddess’s curse, restore Locris to its former glory, and change the fate of every young woman destined to follow in her path.

My Review
I've really enjoyed this author's romantic comedies, so I was thrilled to check out her new book in a genre I adore. This is author Sariah Wilson's first foray into the fantasy genre, specifically "Romantasy".
The story centers around Princess Lia, who lives in Locris, a dying desert kingdom. Each year, two young women are chosen as tributes to the Goddess to atone for a mistake made over a thousand years ago. While being hunted by the Ilion men, these maidens must hurry to the Goddess's temple to survive, but no one has ever made it back alive. Lia believes it’s her destiny to save Locris by being chosen to race to the temple, find a relic of the Goddess, and then return to restore her homeland.
Things don’t go as smoothly as planned, even though she’s trained to fight back. Writing this review without revealing too much is tough, so here’s a quick rundown without spoilers.
-Lia encounters the charming Jason, who tries to win her heart.
-She builds strong friendships within a devoted sisterhood.
-The plot is full of surprising twists.
-The story draws inspiration from Greek Mythology.
-Lia is a stubborn and determined main character.
-There are hidden identities that lead to a big cliffhanger.
If you love Greek Mythology, fated mates, strong female leads, and intense situations, this new Romantasy should be your next pick.
