With aspects of forbidden romance and high stakes of the life-changing battle looming in the background, Daughter of the Drowned Empire has everything required to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. -Screen Rant

Like Fourth Wing, Daughter of the Drowned Empire combines magic, fantasy, and a delicious slow-burn romance. -Town&Country

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

DAUGHTER OF THE DROWNED EMPIRE by Frankie Mallis is a breathtaking and sumptuous fantasy romance that had me kicking my feet, gasping for air, and blushing from the first page to the last. Filled with intriguing court dynamics, the world feels completely fresh and immersive. Lyr is a flawed and lovable heroine you can't help but root for, giving vibes of a magical Cleopatra. One of my favourite reads of the year! - Elizabeth Helen, author of Bonded by Thorns
