Perfect for you if...

You love slow-burn romance with genuine tension between characters who actively distrust each other at first.
You want worldbuilding that feels lived-in, with real stakes tied to the elf-human conflict looming over everything.
You're drawn to BookTok romantasy and enjoyed titles like Lightlark or A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots where the love triangle resolves quickly or feels less central to the story.
You need instant chemistry and banter between romantic interests rather than prickly, complicated connection.
You're looking for standalone romance rather than signing up for a duology commitment.

About this book

The Ruins Beneath Us is the first book in a romantasy duology. Young elf Lyria has spent her life hidden while war brews between the elven kingdom and the human world. At eighteen, restless on the forest's edge, she rescues a boy from the forest who is dying. The boy is Finn, the crowned Prince, and he asks Lyria to become the kingdom's royal apothecary. Lyria fears discovery—both that she is an elf and that she used magic to heal Finn while he was unconscious. She struggles to hide her identity while fitting into the human kingdom. At court, she meets Cygnus, the Head Healer, who is suspicious of her and questions her abilities. When Lyria and Cygnus uncover a dark, sinister world hidden beneath the palace, secrets emerge that cannot remain hidden. Lyria must decide who, if anyone, she can trust. The story features a love triangle and explores themes of identity and belonging in this slow-burn YA romantasy.
