Reviews“Until We Shatter submerges the reader into worlds unknown alongside characters I would die for. I flew through the pages, matching the thrilling and captivating rhythm of the plot. A heist, enemies to lovers, and a hidden realm – need I say more?” - Saara El-Arifi, author of Faebound“Catapults the reader into a story full of twists and turns that will leave you reeling. The world is full of magic and fraught with danger, and at its heart we have a found family who will stop at nothing to save each other. Dylan’s writing crackles with spark and wit while dragging the stakes higher, bigger, sharper, until the story explodes in a roar of colour. This book will take you for a ride and shatter you to pieces, then make you whole again.” - Hannah Kaner, author of Godkiller“Until We Shatter is explosive, vibrant and unmissable fantasy. This is the magical heist adventure you’ve been looking for.” - Tasha Suri, author of The Burning Kingdoms
