YOUR NEXT ROMANTASY OBSESSION!

Throne of Glass meets Shield of Sparrows in the new epic fantasy from international bestselling author Geneva Lee.

THE STARS CHOSE HER. BUT THE KINGDOM WANTS HER DEAD.

Arden Icaros was never meant to matter, but the stars had other plans. . .

When Arden’s magic inheritance ceremony ends in catastrophe, half the realm believes she is a harbinger of war.

And they want her dead.

Noble houses demand her execution. Assassins hunt her across the kingdom. And her only hope lies with the most feared man in the kingdom.

Bishop Marius.

Bishop is ruthless, terrifying, and fiercely loyal to the crown. He should kill her. Instead, he hides her.
But the longer Arden remains under Bishop's protection, the more dangerous he becomes. Because Arden knows the Bishop is hiding secrets powerful enough to topple kingdoms.

As war brews an obsession begins to grow. One that could destroy them both . . .

Critic reviews

Romance, banter, and all the yearning? I’m obsessed.
Stunning. Just stunning—the world, the magic, the romance. This will be your new addiction from the first page.
Deliciously dangerous and savagely sexy, Geneva Lee’s Harbinger delivers swoons and suspense in this intoxicating new world ruled by the stars. . . I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
Harbinger is everything I crave in an epic romantasy. Unique magic, plenty of twists and turns, and a dark and dangerous love interest that will have you fanning yourself. Geneva Lee weaves magic and mystery into an unputdownable story that’s written in the Stars
Fast-paced and action packed, it grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let go. I devoured this and am eagerly awaiting the next book. This is an absolute must read!
Geneva Lee always writes my newest favorite escape. She never fails to craft rich worlds packed with characters you love and desperately miss the second you finish the last page.
An original and fascinating take on Romantasy. Bishop and Arden are truly written in the stars!
Arden Icaros joins the ranks of Violet Sorrengail and Feyre Archeron as romantasy’s newest tough female protagonist. An ardent slow burn that will leave readers yearning for more.

The start and finish were promising but the middle was strung out rather unnecessarily ' with way too much woe is me' from the FMC.
Too many swinging emotions and not enough story for me.

Promising start but not enough plot in the middle of the book.

Perfect Romantasy, well worth the read, can’t wait for book 2. Narrators are brilliant. Easily 5 stars

Brilliant, i loved it

I went into this with high expectations, but unfortunately it just didn’t deliver… It felt like a collection of plot pieces borrowed from other books stitched together without much of its own identity. And the number of times I rolled my eyes…

Most of the “emotional moments” felt unearned. The story kept telling me I should be devastated or something, but well… I didn’t. And the FMC was just insufferable.

I wanted to love this, but it wasn’t for me.

Not for me

I will caveat this by saying I read this as a palette cleanser after a really intense series finale that broke me, and it started off really really well and felt like the right book! I love the world and the premise and the history that led to this point and all that felt really original and interesting. The FMC feels like a real woman, and that was also great and refreshing but her journey to hooking up with Bishop felt frustrating at times (and not in a good way) with them both playing push me pull you inexplicably throughout. I felt that there were a few plot holes that didn’t make much sense and it could possibly have done with a better editor BUT having said that it did keep my attention, and I was invested in Arden and her family and her safety. The narration was tip top and had it not been I may have DNF’d but as it was so good I 100% will be continuing with the next one when the next book comes out! I hope that insta and Tik tok make more of this book than I have seen because it’s miles better than some others that seem to be on everyone’s ’god tier’ list that I didn’t love as much! Worth the credit for sure and a promising start!

Promising start to a series

Slow and a bit repetitive in parts, a few times thinking to myself ‘get on with it, this is same as before’. Saying that, I kept going. Literally last few pages is where it got going. Perhaps bk2 is where it will all be at. I did enjoy this though. Dual narration but male voice was literally the epilogue!

A good read
