While YA romantasy is having a moment, Emily Varga's For She is Wrath debut will surely stand the test of time and maintain its place on shelves — and in readers’ hearts — for the long-haul.
An inventive gender-flipped Pakistani re-telling of The Count of Monte Cristo, it’s propelled by furious drama from the off, and never lets up as it tells a thrilling story of revenge, betrayal and relentlessly passionate love that shimmers with dark magic and devastating dilemmas.
As a result of being betrayed by someone she loved and trusted, Dania has been imprisoned for a crime she did not commit, and so seizes a chance to escape and exact revenge when a fellow prisoner makes a proposition that unleashes fresh power, a new identity and renewed momentum for retribution.
Twisting the enemies-to-lovers trope to tangled extremes, For She is Wrath is a feverish feast of YA fantasy.

For She Is Wrath Synopsis
Lovers-to-enemies as you've never seen it before, Emily Varga's YA romantasy debut For She is Wrath is the epic tale of a girl escaped from prison and hell-bent on revenge.
Betrayed by her ex-lover and falsely imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, Dania counts down the days until she can exact her revenge —if only she didn’t have a life sentence to serve with no hope of release.
But when a fellow prisoner lands in the middle of her cell with a proposition and the keys to a dangerous Jinn treasure, Dania takes the chance to escape and pursue her path of vengeance. Armed with all the power she could want and a brand-new identity, Dania enacts a plan to bring down those who betrayed her and her family.
But the one person standing in her way is the very man who signed her life away in the first place, and retribution becomes a complicated game of cat and mouse. Because sometimes betrayal isn't as simple as it seems and revenge certainly isn't as easy - not when your heart is involved.
Prepare to be swept away in this epic and romantic gender-flipped retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo by debut author Emily Varga.
