When the Exiles Return Series by Mia Rosh

Twenty years ago, Jeremiah was cast into darkness. Once a warrior. Once a trusted ally of the king. Now he returns as something far more dangerous. The kingdom believes the Exiles were monsters — banished for crimes too terrible to forgive. The gates between worlds were sealed, the war forgotten, and peace rebuilt on silence. But peace built on lies never lasts. Liana, daughter of the king, has lived her life within palace walls, raised on stories of heroism and sacrifice... moreTwenty years ago, Jeremiah was cast into darkness. Once a warrior. Once a trusted ally of the king. Now he returns as something far more dangerous. The kingdom believes the Exiles were monsters — banished for crimes too terrible to forgive. The gates between worlds were sealed, the war forgotten, and peace rebuilt on silence. But peace built on lies never lasts. Liana, daughter of the king, has lived her life within palace walls, raised on stories of heroism and sacrifice. She is loyal, strong, and bound by duty — yet she has always felt that something about the past does not fit. The night the portal opens, everything changes. Jeremiah steps back into a world that betrayed him. Hardened by exile and shaped by forces no mortal should survive, he carries the mark of the abyss — and secrets powerful enough to shatter the throne. To the court, he is a threat. To the king, he is a ghost from a buried war. To Liana… he is something she was never meant to face. Drawn together by fate, suspicion, and a dangerous, unspoken pull, Liana and Jeremiah find themselves at the center of a growing storm. Creatures stir beyond the sealed gates. Shadows gather in the forests. And whispers of the Exiles spread through the kingdom once more. But the greatest danger may not be the monsters outside the walls. It may be the truth. As loyalty clashes with desire and the past refuses to remain buried, Liana must decide whether to stand beside her father — or the man who survived the darkness and came back changed. Because when the Exiles return, they do not come alone. And some loves are powerful enough to either save a kingdom… or destroy it. less

After crossing the portal, Liana and Jeremiah find themselves in a world that should not exist — a place shaped by shadows, where magic is alive and every step could be their last. Jeremiah’s power is no longer something he can hide. It grows stronger, more dangerous, slowly pulling him closer to the darkness he once tried to escape. And this time… it might consume him completely. Liana refuses to lose him. But saving him may mean stepping into that darkness herself... moreAfter crossing the portal, Liana and Jeremiah find themselves in a world that should not exist — a place shaped by shadows, where magic is alive and every step could be their last.

As enemies rise from the past and new forces begin to hunt them, secrets are revealed — about Jeremiah, about Liana, and about a fate that has been written long before they ever met. Betrayal. Power. Obsession. And a choice that will change everything. Because this time, love might not be enough. less
