"To being on our own side." Juliette Cain never thought she could be a main character. She was a writer, not a hero. She was too quiet, too anxious, and stood in the shadow of her friends. But when Juliette and her two best friends, Maya and Mallory, are pulled into their fantasy story, she must play the role she never asked for. To escape, she must become her character. But their story was far darker than they ever imagined. A doomsday prophecy hung over their heads, and a violent war was at hand. Juliette must walk the lines between enemy and ally in a world where nothing is black and white. Worse, she's drawn to the King, a deceptive and charming villain who aims to destroy the world order and the Flowers who protect it. Will Juliette let fate decide her path, or will she change the ending? The Raven Boys meets Puella Magi Madoka Magica. "Glory and Gore" is a romantasy filled with corrupted destinies, doomed Chosen Ones, enemies-to-lovers, and a girl who dares to defy fate's design. #340 in Paranormal #70 in Romantasy
