Overview

*Booky Call's #1 most swiped Romantasy of 2024* *NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite* War took her life. But the strength of her words has the power to defy death... General Jayden, the hero of the Battle of Drystan, is remembered for her final act of bravery-sacrificing herself to save her platoon from a devastating Acid-Breather dragon ambush. But the truth behind her death is far more complicated. Danaus, her surviving partner and a powerful political leader, has buried her grief behind duty and discipline. She views love as a luxury the war stole from her-until a collection of Jayden's letters is unearthed, revealing an artist's soul, a justice-seeker's fire, and a woman torn between peace and sacrifice. As Danaus relives Jayden's final days through her own words, she discovers the truth of a love that never truly died-and a final letter that may shatter everything she thought she knew. With the help of Jayden's unfiltered, truth-telling aunt Wendoura, Danaus must face the ghosts of war, the weight of legacy, and the chance to forgive-not just Jayden, but herself. At the Heart of War: Danaus & Jayden is a mythic fantasy novella set within the Legacies of Light & Dark universe. A deeply emotional, female-centered, sapphic love story, it explores devotion, sacrifice, and the quiet courage of choosing love-even when the world demands silence. Because the pen is mightier than the sword-when written with one's heart.
