"The Wraith King" by Juliette Cross

"The Wraith King" by Juliette Cross

Thu, Sep 24, 10:30 PM
From Romantasy Readers
4.8

Come hang out with us as we discuss our September book, The Wraith King by Juliette Cross! Book description: A brutal, bloody war against the ruthless Wraith King has cost the light fae more than innocent lives. Una Hartstone, Princess of Issos, learns the price the Wraith King demands to end the war once and for all. Her. In exchange for the safety of her people, she agrees to give her life—and her body—to her greatest enemy. Gollaya Verbane is determined to fulfill his destiny and his god’s prophecy. When his seer points to the Princess of Issos as the key to the rise of the dark fae, he demands her submission. But when she finally yields, he realizes Una is much more to him than a priceless weapon. A mystery that has haunted Una for years awakens when she is abducted and dragged back to Näkt Mir. The palace hides many dark secrets…and at least one traitor. A traitor determined to take King Goll’s throne—and all he possesses. What he doesn’t know is that Una’s magick is more powerful than he can imagine, and that Goll will burn the whole world to save her.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup connects people with shared interests in local groups. It facilitates finding and participating in group activities and events based on your personal interests.

You can search for book swap events near your location on Meetup by entering your city and choosing 'book swap' as the activity. This helps you find gatherings close by.

Yes, you can join various book groups on Meetup. Being part of multiple groups allows you to explore different book swap activities and connect with diverse reader communities.

Usually, bringing a book to swap is encouraged but not always mandatory. Check the event details or ask the host for specific expectations about what to bring.

Some book swap events may occur online. The event description will inform you if an event is virtual, allowing you to participate from anywhere.

Creating an account and joining groups on Meetup is free. However, some events may require a fee paid to organizers for participation or materials.

RSVPing to events you wish to attend is good practice. This lets organizers prepare accordingly and helps ensure a spot for you in the event.

Yes, you can cancel your RSVP if plans change. Simply update your response on the event page to inform the host you won't attend.

Availability of book swap events depends on your city's active groups. Use Meetup to search for such events in your area to see what's available.

Events are mostly organized by Meetup group hosts rather than the Meetup platform itself, which facilitates these gatherings but doesn't directly manage them.

While Meetup helps people connect, it can't guarantee immediate friendships. Successful connections often result from active involvement and attending events.

If no events are available, you can start a book swap group yourself or expand your search to nearby locations to explore other options.

The frequency of book swap events can vary greatly depending on organizers and the location's active community. It's best to regularly check Meetup for updates.

Meetup's book swaps are community-driven and aim to supplement not replace traditional libraries. It's a way to engage socially with other book lovers.

As Meetup events are host-led, organization quality may differ. Looking at past reviews of events or communicating with hosts can help assess event quality.
