Happy New Year! This week I'm featuring Scarred (The Lost Sovereign Book 3) by Anna Hawke. I'm just about finished with this ARC and am loving it so much!
An immortal woman masquerading as a human. A powerful man who can’t afford to trust her. A corrupt ruler determined to destroy them both.
Naomi is gifted with a rare power vital to their species’ survival. Hiding among the mortals has allowed her to evade detection from the brutal men who hunt her. A chance encounter draws the attention of Zayn: the ruthless, honorable prime building a rebellion against the oppressors of their world.
Defending his legion from any danger has always been Zayn’s priority, no matter the toll it takes on him. With her real identity a mystery, Naomi’s presence in his territory risks everything. He only knows that she fears the men he’s sworn to defeat. Nothing has prepared him for the battle he must wage to win her heart—and protect her from those who would seek to exploit it.
With the rebellion hanging by a thread and a tyrant tightening his grip, they must decide whether their fated bond can withstand the looming supernatural war—or if it will shatter under the strain.
Author's Note
Scarred is a dual perspective paranormal romance with urban fantasy elements. As part of the Lost Sovereign series, it can be read as a standalone, but we recommend that they be read in order. While the romance within sizzles, this series is fade to black/closed door.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
A scream tore through the hallway.
Friday 56
As soon as the words left her lips, Zayne's face was wiped clean of emotion.
