Summary
“Fourth Wing-meets-rugby is something I didn't know I needed in my life, but now I’m obsessed. The Winged Game is going to be the next big thing for sure!”—Ruby Dixon, New York Times bestselling author
Carriwitchet, the violent, rugby-esque game played atop winged beasts, was once Taissa Cho’s whole life, and she was once the United Kingdom’s most promising player. Until her nemesis, rival player Kion Locke, destroyed her career in a single moment. Expelled from the sport in disgrace, Taissa has spent the last two years dreaming of nothing but revenge and relishing watching Kion’s team plummet to the bottom of the league.
So when Taissa is offered the chance to redeem herself and her career, she can’t refuse—even if the offer is coming from the very man who ruined everything in the first place. It’s close to a dream come true . . . except for that pesky clause in her contract that demands she and Kion enter a fake relationship in order to garner some much-needed positive PR for the team. This could not be a worse match. Taissa and Kion only have two things in common: their love of the game, and their undying hatred for each other.
Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the entire league—putting both the beasts’ lives and the very sport itself at stake—the athletes find themselves partnering up in other ways, determined to crack the case of the eerie sickness. As their investigation takes them on a whirlwind adventure, Kion and Taissa are prepared for anything . . .
Anything, that is, but their fake-for-the-cameras relationship to maybe, just maybe, become something real after all.

Critic reviews
“Sophie Kim is a genius! Fourth Wing-meets-rugby is something I didn’t know I needed in my life, but now I’m obsessed. This has everything romantasy fans are looking for—from fake dating to found family to bonding with intelligent fantastical beasts. The setting was vivid and detailed, and I really adored our two stubborn, hardheaded leads. I was hooked from the first page. The Winged Game is going to be the next big thing for sure!”—Ruby Dixon, New York Times bestselling author
“Sophie Kim is a fearless storyteller, deftly drawing together fantasy and sports-romance tropes to create a tale that is magical, dangerous, and high-octane. The world brims with detail and imagination, yet Kim never loses sight of magic and wonder amidst the delightfully brutal games of carriwitchet.”—Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
“Delightful at every turn, The Winged Game is equal parts high-flying adventure, slow-burn romance, and pure adrenaline. . . . An unforgettable ride.”—K. X. Song, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Ends with Fire
“This is what the romantasy genre has been missing: MAGICAL SPORTS! Add in the intense rivals-to-lovers dynamic plus tension you can cut with a knife, and we were hooked. This book had us in tears, laughing out loud, and cheering just as hard for Kion and Taissa’s relationship as we were during the carriwitchet games. Romantasy and sports romance readers alike will eat this up! The NCL Stymphs will hold a permanent place in our hearts.”—Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, authors of The Ascended
“Charmingly magical and wonderfully paced, The Winged Game swept me away. From the fake dating, rivals-to-lovers romance to the intricate magic system and world, this is a must-read for fans of romantasy, sports romance, and clever, cozy magic vibes.”—Rachel Greenlaw, author of The Ordeals
“With fantasy at its most whimsical and the heart-racing stakes of a sports romance, The Winged Game is an unputdownable rivals-to-lovers romp, full of humor, top-notch banter, and lovable characters you’ll be rooting for from the start. Readers won’t be able to stop thinking about Taissa and Kion long after the final chapter.”—Annie Summerlee, author of The Book of Blood and Roses
“Action-packed, brilliantly imaginative, and ridiculously fun, Kim’s The Winged Game is a one-of-a-kind fusion of fantasy adventure and sports romance that is sure to soar straight into readers’ hearts. This delightfully wild ride had me gripped from its first page to its last; consider me a NCL Stymphs fan for life!”—Lenora Woods, author of Roll for Romance
