Fallen City

Fallen City by Adrienne Young is a lush Greco-Roman inspired fantasy that blends political intrigue, stolen magic and a slow-burn forbidden romance inside the walled city of Isara, where rebellion has been simmering for a century.

Maris Casperia has grown up in the Citadel’s shadow, trained for a future of service to a corrupt regime—yet her time as novice to the last Priestess with Old War magic has shown her another way. Luca Matius, determined to secure his family’s standing, is drawn into catastrophe through his studies with the city’s Philosopher. When their paths collide, a careful alliance begins to form, even as secrets surface and the streets tip toward holy war.

Perfect for readers who love romantic fantasy with high stakes, gods and fate, and city-under-siege settings—especially fans of rebellion stories with morally tangled loyalties.

Step into Isara and see which side of the tale you’ll end up on.
