Synopsis

Raven Kennedy’s Gild meets Jennifer L. Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash in this dark and riveting romantasy following an illegitamate princess caught up in the revenge of gods, the first book in a trilogy about survival, obsession, and the quiet fury of a woman who won’t be forgotten. A marriage forged in blood. A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break. When Princess Mireille is wed to a foreign king with cold eyes and colder intentions, she expects distance, perhaps cruelty, not chains. Kept imprisoned within her own kingdom’s walls, she learns her father’s past sins are not easily buried. But neither is she. As her world twists into something unrecognisable, Mireille finds herself caught between two powerful immortal beings – one who wants her obedience and one who wants what little soul she has left. But Mireille was not born to kneel. *This is a dark fantasy romance for a mature, 18+ audience and contains themes and content that aren’t to everyone’s liking. Please check the author’s note at the beginning of the book for content warnings before reading.* Pick this up if you love: Feminine rage, captor x captive/forced proximity, high stakes enemies to lovers, forced marriage of convience, touch her and die, villainous gods. *** READERS ARE OBSSESSED WITH SOULS IN RUIN: ‘I just finished and I’m literally staring at the wall. . . .
