Never Keep by Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti (Hardback)

Fate doesn’t favour the wicked. So begins the highly anticipated first instalment in Sins of the Zodiac — a brand-new spin-off series set in the world of the BookTok phenomenon Zodiac Academy, from #1 Amazon and Wall Street Journal bestselling authors Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti.

The dragons are lost. The elements are at war. And enlisting isn’t optional. Our heroine is a wielder of hearts and a summoner of corruption — heir to nothing, born to a fool in the wrong month, and one of only two Fae in this divided land who might be starting to see through the lies they’ve all swallowed for so long.

In the year they turn twenty-one, conscripts from the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep, the only place on their besieged continent where magic can be Awakened. But something is wrong inside the gothic walls of this frigid fortress — something that may reach far beyond it. The Reapers are merciless, the Royals are lying, and death lurks in every shadow. Yet survival may be the least of her worries as she uncovers secrets the stars would rather keep buried, forges alliances with born enemies, and finds herself falling for the wrong Fae entirely.

Book one of four. An enemies-to-lovers romantasy of its own, dark and villainous, set in the same world as Zodiac Academy. Please check the authors’ content warnings before reading.

Perfect for readers who love real enemies to lovers, war-college settings, found family, elemental powers, morally grey characters, fated mates and a slow-burn romance among Fae, vampires and dragons.
