  The Wake, (Daughter of Perdition) Adell Ryan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The end is here. From the land to the sea, our realm degrades, proving the foretellings prophesied. Soon, the beings of Ceteris will cease to exist, no matter their status or race. Powerful queens, fallen angels, fierce giants, and hungry demons alike will be taken by the Krisis.
