Overview

Within the Endless Dark, a fallen star is worshipped as a goddess inside a gilded cage. Hidden beneath the ruined Surface of Elendria, Krystopolis survives behind immense Shields that shelter it from the brutal Cycles above. Within its latticed towers, power is governed by strict Doctrine-blood magic, ritual, and spectacle designed to keep the Void itself in balance. Fifty-three years ago, the Resh'Agar-Krystopolis's immortal god of war-brought a mysterious woman from the Surface and named her his Sokâr. The Council called her an ornament. The People called her a heretic. Auryn has spent decades learning the city that never wanted her. Watching. Listening. Waiting. Now she is quietly building influence of her own-spying on the Council, fighting for the forgotten districts, and uncovering the terrible truth behind the rituals that sustain Krystopolis... and devour the man she loves piece by piece. Walking beside the Resh'Agar is dangerous. Holding his favor is worse. And loving him may be the most dangerous choice of all. As Auryn's power grows, so do the enemies gathering in the shadows of the city. Because the Void must remain impartial, and a Sokâr who changes the balance of Krystopolis may bring the entire empire crashing down.

Goodreads Review: This book. This series. Wow. This book was intense. There was so much going on. The political plot with all its backstabbing and scheming, the romance between Resh and Auryn, the constant threat of war and political unrest. This isn't like any fantasy book I've ever read. And it isn't light, this is definitely an epic fantasy with so many moving parts and so unique. I 100% recommend this read if you are looking for something to keep you on edge and your mind in this amazing world trying to figure out what's going to happen next! Goodreads Review: In Sokar, we journey alongside Auryn in the harsh and unforgiving world of Krystopolis, where power and cruelty reign supreme, and empathy is often viewed as a weakness. Auryn faces daily struggles for survival in a society that devalues her worth, especially because of her perceived imperfections. The narrative intensifies with the return of the Resh'Agar, a figure from Auryn's past, and present who has endured his own hardships while separated from her. His arrival is bittersweet; upon seeing her again, he feels a deep sorrow for what she has suffered, yet he must maintain a façade due to the watchful eyes around them. This tension adds depth to their relationship, showcasing both vulnerability and resilience. Throughout the story, Auryn's journey becomes a powerful testament to strength in the face of adversity. She challenges societal norms that equate disability with inferiority, proving that one's worth is not defined by physical attributes or societal expectations. Her character embodies the message that strength comes in various forms, a theme that resonates deeply throughout the book. The pacing of the narrative is well-crafted, with the right amount of tension and emotional depth, complemented by a perfect spice level that keeps you engaged. Ravenna has skillfully balances moments of despair with hope, allowing Auryn's character to shine as a beacon of resilience. Overall, Sokar is a compelling exploration of love, endurance, and the fight against societal prejudice. Auryn's journey is not just about survival; it's about reclaiming her identity and proving her worth in a world that tries to diminish her. This book is a must-read for anyone who appreciates stories of empowerment and personal growth amidst adversity. My personal favorite character Resh but there is one more that has my heart you'll have to read to find out who he is.
