"He made her his wife. The world burned anyway."

WAR

The Four Horsemen: Book 2 by Laura Thalassa

#Best of BookTok

They came to destroy the world. And War came to claim her.

WHEN THE SECOND HORSEMAN RIDES

When Jerusalem falls, Miriam knows survival is impossible. Blood fills the streets, hope is already dead — until War himself sees her.

Instead of killing her, he marks her as his. His wife.

Taken into the heart of devastation, Miriam watches cities fall beneath War's command. He is ruthless, unstoppable… and yet, when he looks at her, something else flickers beneath the violence.

Possession.

Hunger.

A dangerous tenderness.

Because War does not love gently. He conquers.

As Miriam is pulled closer to the monster ending humanity, she learns a brutal truth: love and war cannot exist side by side.

One must be destroyed for the other to survive.
And stopping War may cost her everything — including him.

2. War — The Second Horseman

3. Famine — The Third Horseman

4. Death — The Fourth Horseman

Each book follows a different horseman and can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed in order for maximum emotional impact.

WHAT MAKES WAR UNFORGETTABLE

If Pestilence was about questioning humanity, War is about claiming it. This horseman doesn't just destroy — he dominates, possesses, and ultimately… loves.

Miriam isn't a passive captive. She challenges War at every turn, forcing him to confront what he's become and what he could be. Their chemistry is explosive, their battles are legendary, and their love story will wreck you in the best way.
