“This is how you do romantasy!” —Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

An alliance between enemies. A weapon of untold power. And a bond that could rewrite fate.

Fall into the viral, propulsive dark romantasy everyone is reading. A fae assassin with the power of illusion, sworn to a king she despises. An enigmatic grim reaper, searching for freedom. Enemies collide in an unlikely alliance, brimming with desire and destruction.

She is not the pet they tamed.

Blessed with the power of illusion, Iverson Pomeroy has many tricks up her sleeve. However, none of them are a match for the enchanted collar at her throat that keeps her bound as assassin and mistress to a ruthless king. Forced to play the role of his obedient pet, she plots in secret to destroy him and claim the freedom she has always been denied.

She is the beast they let inside.

When a mysterious reaper, Thorne, arrives in the city with his sights set on the same weapon Ivy needs—the only artifact that can remove her collar—she must decide how far she’s willing to go.

And she will show no mercy.

With a tenuous alliance tying them together, Ivy learns there is more to her reluctant companion than meets the eye... He sparks her curiosity and ignites dangerous desires within her. But will the secrets they harbor destroy each other? And does it even matter, when anyone who so much as touches Thorne dies?

I really enjoyed this book

I love the story and the narrators . The negative reviews about the males voice must be people who have never watched TV series Lucifer. Im really sad the story is over and there is no second book (yet). I recommend!

So Unexpected and Amazing

1000/10, I was so surprised by how much I loved this book! I'm also almost never surprised by plot twists but wow yeah, amazing

Most Excellent!

I found the story intriguing, emotional, and one that kept me guessing and wanting more. The narration was beautifully performed. The male narrator is absolutely perfection, while the female is equally matched balancing a strong FMC but also revealing vulnerability. I truly enjoyed this Audio/ novel and cannot wait for the rest of the series.

wow!!!

This book was so much fun and I was fooled up until the end.
The author did an incredible job. 🙌🏼👏🏼
