Children of Rima by Miriam Yvette

Celestials. Light vs. Darkness. Enemies-to-lovers? A secret identity hides the truth, but what happens when it becomes a cage? The irritable and uncommitted Lucan Greystone has to live under an alias, his true self, hidden in a human body. No one can know he’s a celestial of the cosmos. But when a murder attempt sends Lucan to a small town, he must depend on the Harrow family to trek the long, perilous road back to his friends, all while suffering Elene Harrow’s company, the town’s heathen who nearly killed him. Elene Harrow wants to undo the wrongs of her past, even if that means fulfilling a Vow of Marriage and leaving her romantic life in the hands of another. Upon meeting Lucan, she finds his existence a danger, yet he’s always the one who rescues her, even when he can barely stand her. When Elene discovers one of Rima’s children ensnared in darkness, the journey may be more than they bargained for. ⇟ Favorite quotes from readers ⇟ “What I’m trying to say is everyone paints their own story, and sometimes that brush is in someone else’s control. In the end, we make decisions we’re not proud of, fall into potholes we can’t get out of, but don’t think for a second any one of you is walking with a white canvas.” - Oscern, chap. 23 “There is nothing wrong with hoping.” She wiped Corie’s tears away and moved away the curls that stuck to her freckled cheeks. “It’s all we can do when things that are out of our control happen.” - Elene, chap. 29 "Every day is a new opportunity to be a better person. If you lose sight of that, then you lose a piece of yourself and the things that you hold dear.” - Wein, chap. 33
