Feast of the Fallen

COMING FEBRUARY 24, 2026

“Bestselling author, Lydia Michaels, delivers a dark, billionaire romance with all of The Great Gatsby's champagne charm and Hunger Games' high stakes, in this deliciously twisted retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. For readers who like their heroes morally gray, their steam scorching, and their happily-ever-afters dripping with secrets, Feast of the Fallen has it all!” 

They call it a game. But games have rules, and mine were written in blood.

I was starving when I applied to The Feast of the Fallen—a twisted hunt where the world’s most elite billionaires pay millions to chase women like me through a gilded labyrinth until dawn.

One million dollars just to play. Two million if I'm caught.

I told myself I'd run, hide, and take the money–unharmed–so I could finally escape the poverty that's been choking me my entire life.

But I didn't count on him. 

Jack Thorne, the phantom host, who built an empire from ash and blood, watched from the shadows while men hunted like monsters in a storm of his own creation. But when a reckless guest breaks his rules and goes too far, Jack steps out of the darkness, revealing himself as the most dangerous player of all–one who looks like a savior but will stop at nothing for revenge.

Jack doesn't negotiate with giants. He watches them gorge themselves on power until their true nature spills out. Then he brings the axe.
