Description

Nicolai Attano is ruthless, relentless, deadly. And he’s mine.

In a city where criminals rule the streets, I fell for the most dangerous of them all. And our love made me a target…

Kidnapped by Nicolai’s enemies, I wake up in a prison of enchanted stone and steel—a place where only the strongest survive. Dark magic is burning in my blood. And my captors are desperate to take it from me.

To leave this place, I must fight in duels and endure deadly challenges. My captors want to push my limits, forcing me to release my power. The other prisoners despise me, and though I don’t want to hurt them, I’ll do whatever it takes to win.

I just have to stay alive until Nicolai gets here…

Because I know he is coming for me. That he is tearing Lynchaven apart just to find me. Even in my darkest moment, I can feel him drawing closer. And when we are together again… the city is going to burn.

If you love morally gray love interests, warring mafia houses, dark magic, and spicy rivals-to-lovers romance, prepare to discover your new romantasy obsession. This completed 2-book series is perfect for fans of Quicksilver, Metal Slinger and The Bridge Kingdom.
