Veil of StarsThe Champion
She doesn't need a man. Especially not one who's already marked for death.
Calista has built everything she has with her own two hands: a thriving herbalist shop in the port city of Maris, a glasshouse full of rare plants, and three best friends who feel like sisters.
But when a stranger is condemned by the lords of Astrea for killing two men on the docks, Calista is chosen to heal him. She has until the end of the Games to make him strong enough to fight for his life.
Theron is dangerous. He's hiding something. And he's the man she's been dreaming about.
Every touch is a risk. Every night alone with him tests her resolve. And the more of her heart she gives him, the more she stands to lose when he walks onto the sands.
Everyone in Maris believes the gods are dead. But fate has already bound Calista and Theron together, and the gods aren't finished with them yet.

Jackson Flynn & Elaine Ray
Bestselling, Award-Winning Authors of Greek-Inspired Romantasy
Jackson & Elaine write dangerously addictive romantasy novels featuring powerful heroes, unforgettable heroines, ancient magic, and the kind of love that can defy fate itself. If you love battle-hardened warriors and the women who bring even the most powerful men to their knees, you're in the right place.
Jackson & Elaine are pen names, but don't let that fool you. They're far from new. Between them, they've written over 100 books under other names, including billionaire military romance as Jack Flynn & Lainey Ray.
Now, they've teamed up to create the kind of high-stakes, high-heat romantasy filled with gods, warriors, danger, and epic love stories that get under your skin and never let go.
Jackson Flynn
The WarriorJackson Flynn is a former military man with a sharp mind, a warrior's heart, and a habit of taking control, in fiction and otherwise.
He likes his books like he likes his battles: fast-paced, dangerous, and fought to the bitter end. When he's not crafting epic battles and formidable heroes, you can find him reading action thrillers, watching war movies, or contemplating other ways to make Elaine's imagination run wild.
Jackson brings the strategy, the danger, and the raw intensity to every Jackson & Elaine book. He knows exactly how to build a hero who commands a room, protects what's his, and would tear down the heavens for the woman he loves.
Elaine Ray
The RomanticElaine Ray is the romance to Jackson's warfare, the wonder to his strategy, the yin to his disciplined, battle-hardened yang.
While Jackson deals in ancient battles, dangerous enemies, and heroes forged for war, Elaine is all about the tension: the kind that lingers in a glance, the fire that ignites with a single touch, and the slow-burn longing that makes even the strongest warrior lose control.
She's the artist to his warrior, the love story to his battle plan. Because let's be honest, powerful men like the ones in their books wouldn't fall for someone just like them. They're captivated by something softer, warmer, something they don't quite understand but can't resist. And Elaine knows exactly how to create heroines who challenge, tempt, and ultimately bring them to their knees.
When she's not writing epic romance, she's daydreaming about warriors, gods, and what Jackson might look like dressed as one.
“Rumor has it, Jackson never tempts fate … unless Elaine's involved.”
“She swears it's the mythology she's interested in. Jackson isn't convinced.”
One world has military billionaires. The other has gods. Apparently, they have a type.
When they're not writing romantasy, they create dangerously addictive billionaire military romance as Jack Flynn & Lainey Ray.
