In the riveting sequel to Ivory and Bone—the YA fantasy novel that New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman described as having a “richly crafted world of life-and-death stakes”—the story shifts to Mya’s viewpoint as vengeful adversaries force her to flee the life she once knew.After surviving the battle that erupted after Lo and the Bosha clan attacked, now Mya is looking ahead to her future with Kol. All the things that once felt so uncertain to her are finally falling into place. But the same night as Kol and Mya’s betrothal announcement, Mya’s brother Chev reveals his plan to marry their youngest sister, Lees, to his friend Morsk. The only way to avoid this terrible turn of events, Morsk informs Mya when he corners her later, is for Mya to take Lees’ place and marry him herself. Rejecting Morsk’s offer, and in an effort to protect her sister, Mya whisks Lees away to a secret island until things back home blow over. Mya soon realizes she’s been followed, however. Even worse, lurking deep in the recesses of this dangerous place are rivals from Mya’s past whose thirst for revenge exceeds all reason.With the lives of her loved ones resting on her shoulders, Mya must make a move before the enemies of her past become the undoing of her future.

Rule number one, I expect honest answers. He’s out of my league. Hazel eyes, staggering smile, sculpted, confident posture. Guys like him make my palms sweaty and my brain go numb. So, why is it when he sits near me I suddenly find this calm confidence? It goes against everything I’ve ever known and threatens to leave me defenseless. Our one-night encounter was supposed to be just that, but I can’t shake him… and with every chance meeting, I’m beginning to wonder how much I want to. In an exclusive club built on trust and desire, two strangers collide in a connection neither expected. What begins as a single night becomes a journey of honesty, vulnerability, and the kind of intimacy that changes everything. Club Obsidian is a duet about letting go, holding on, and discovering strength in the places you least expect. ________________________________ Praise for Entrust★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a great push-pull relationship to watch unfold. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The steamy bits only add to the fun.★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The characters in this book are perfect for each other and the storyline.★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Both Club Obsidian Books are great reads
