Publisher Description

She is beauty and ruin sharing a heartbeat.

Sorcha spends her life under the control of Everard, the Duke of Engres. Obedient. Isolated. Unaware of the power stirring inside her.

Only Anwar, the duke's charming and ambitious nephew, sees her as more. Their forbidden love is her first taste of freedom.

But some freedoms have teeth.

The Duke covets the throne. The nephew covets his ward.

To secure his power, Everard turns to forbidden magic and unleashes an ancient evil that possesses Sorcha's body. Her mind fractures—light and darkness vying for control. And there can be only one winner.

Fumbling in the ever-growing darkness of her mind, Sorcha reaches out, sending a plea into the void. She finds Draven, a fierce son of the Great Dragon. To save her, he must cross into a kingdom that fears his kind, where old wars have branded the Dragonborn as monsters, and his presence could ignite another.

As the corruption inside Sorcha deepens and the truths behind love, loyalty, and control unravel, she must fight to reclaim her soul before she becomes the blade that cuts her world apart.

Perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Sarah J. Maas, and Rebecca Yarros. A dark romantasy filled with dragons, forbidden love, dangerous magic, and a heroine battling a monster that wears her own skin.
