Description

The first in a seductive new romantasy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair. Banished and betrayed, Lilith rises from the shadows of her past to claim forbidden power—and a destiny written in blood and desire.

She is the beginning and the end.

She is peace and chaos.

She is terror knocking at the gates.

Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.

Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he’s always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn’t sure he can protect her from what’s to come.

Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat—to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

After reading and loving A Touch of Darkness from this author I was sooo fucking excited about this new series and it definitely didn't disappoint!!!

I loved Lilith and Zahariev and all their friends!!! There were so many moments where I laughed out loud, so many cute moments... but of course with every Scarlett St. Clair book there are also spicy moments that are sooo hot. It's a real slow burn so it's a little wait until those scenes but they are so worth it.

The plot was really interesting and I honestly can't wait to see what happens in the next book!!!
