In her September 2025 release, Rebecca Ross revisits the world she created in her New York Times bestseller, “Divine Rivals.”
“Wild Reverence,” an adult stand-alone romantasy, takes readers back 600 years before the events of “Divine Rivals.”
Matilda is the herald of the gods, born with the ability to take messages between immortal beings and traverse where other gods cannot. Although she spends her childhood surrounded by gods, a human boy named Vincent, whom she visits in his dreams, stands out to her more than the magic around her.
When Matilda finally meets Vincent in person, he makes her feel more seen than any god. A tragedy rips them apart almost immediately after they meet, and Vincent thinks Matilda abandoned him as both a friend and a goddess, leading him to grow into a faithless adult just trying to keep his people afloat.
Matilda never forgets Vincent, though, thinking often of the boy she knew as she comes into her power. When tasked with delivering Vincent a letter, Matilda is determined to right the wrong version of events he remembers.
Romantic, adventure-filled, and fresh, “Wild Reverence” is a must-read for “ACOTAR” fans.
