Book description from the publisher, Rose & Star Publishing
World Ender meets Ender of Worlds…
A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her.
A King thought long dead and long forgotten.
In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago.
Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

 | SUPERB Amber V. Nicole’s book took TikTok book reviewer Anis on a rollercoaster ride of emotions into an urban dark fantasy world where morally grey characters add refreshing twists to a ‘enemies turned lovers’ trope. Written from two different, relatable and heartfelt perspectives, The Book of Azrael (featuring a flawed yet endearing female protagonist) offers a breath of fresh air in a romantasy genre dominated by ‘morally grey male heroes’. @anisdiananana (Anis Diana) |
 | GOOD A ‘morally grey shapeshifting female main character (FMC)’ bewitches readers amid a fantastical realm filled with witches, vampires and demons. Unlike typical ‘damsel in distress’ sagas, book reviewer Rhiannon the FMC in Amber V. Nicole’s The Book of Azrael is able to survive, thrive and find her way in the world through training, grit and resilience. Although she does not need saving from a ‘prince charming’, readers will find the male protagonist relatable without the usual romantasy-morally-grey-male trope. Fans of enemies-to-lovers novels will love Amber V. Nicole’s well-executed, ‘spicy’ tale. @rhisbooks (Rhiannon) |
| SUPERB TikToker Dinabookish raves about this world where gods and monsters mingle and possibly, fall in love. Shapeshifter Dianna and the god-like Liam endure through trauma and epic, entertaining journeys while building a romantic bond more enchanting than the mystical universe they go through. Despite the wondrous romantasy setting, Dina appreciates the natural chemistry and realistic growing relationship between the two Dianna and Liam. @Dinabookish |
