Amidst her mother's battle with addiction and her brother's disappearance on the warfront, Iris clings to the hope of advancing her career at the Oath Gazette.

As their anonymous correspondence blossoms into an unforeseen connection amidst the chaos, Iris and Roman's fates intertwine with the fortunes of deities and mortals alike. In 'Divine Rivals', Rebecca Ross weaves an intricate tapestry of love and conflict, where divine battles cross paths with the power of written words, and Iris must confront whether love can truly prevail in the shadow of celestial strife.
