But escaping the Coalition comes at a cost. Bound to the very man who should have been her executioner, Celeste and the captain must reluctantly join forces to survive. Together, they face enemies that should never have walked this world and uncover ancient secrets that will shape the war.

About the Author :
Christina Evers writes romantic fantasy centered on mythology and badass heroines with emotional complexities. Drawn to high-stakes relationships, she writes stories where tension and angst are paramount. Her work is shaped by over a decade of professional business writing, half a lifetime of international travel, and a moderate-to-extreme obsession with culture and mythology. When she isn't writing or lost in a good book, she's usually with her husband and three kids at extracurriculars, Disney, or on a trip doing something dangerous.
Review :
"Scarab, for me, conjures up bits of The Mummy, Indiana Jones and epic movies like Lawrence of Arabia while also having a modern twist and dystopian flares of Max Max and packaging it all up in a militaristic, romantasy adventure."
"The dynamic between Celeste and the Captain was easily one of my favourite parts of the book. The reluctant alliance, simmering tension, and growing trust between two people who should have been enemies created the perfect slow burn romance. Every interaction had me desperate for more."
"I was immediately drawn into the rich setting and the Egypt-inspired mythology. The world feels carefully crafted and immersive without ever overwhelming the story."
"Wow. This book was not at all what i expected. It was even better! The complexity of the characters, the action, the detailed world building and fight scenes - absolutely spectacular."
"Christina Evers knocked this one out of the park. And now I am DYING for book 2! I can feel how hot the desert is and the sand on my skin. I felt everything our FMC was going through as a mother. I felt her fear, her trepidation, and her locking away her humanity to save her son. I felt the captain's battle between duty and keeping her safe."
"The plot twist at the end, you'll never see it coming, I didn't for sure. My jaw dropped! I'll be impatiently waiting for book 2!"
"I absolutely loved this story!!! ♥️ As a debut novel and introduction into Christina's writing, I found this book to be well written and gripping from the very first page."
"This book truly blew me AWAY! I read it in one sitting at the beach, Celeste is one of the strongest FMCs Ive read in a long time."
