Perfect for you if...

You love dark paranormal romance with slow-burn tension and morally grey characters who make terrible decisions for the right reasons.
You're drawn to Hades-Persephone retellings and want that same fated-mates energy but with a fresh world and higher stakes.
You want a fantasy that balances visceral action sequences with intimate character moments that hit you in the chest.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels and aren't ready to commit to a series for the full payoff.
You need your heroes and heroines to make consistently smart choices and avoid obvious danger.
You're squeamish about violence or prefer romance without the grimdark edges.

About this book

On the secluded continent of Edenvale, magic is punishable by death. Those with magical abilities are labeled Cursed and executed by the king in a ritual called the Cleansing, which involves fire and an iron collar. A rebel group known as the Cursed fight to protect their lands from the king's forces in an ongoing war. When Sage's brother is conscripted into the war, she leaves her quiet cottage life to join the Cursed rebels in order to rescue him. Her mission becomes complicated when she meets Von, the leader of the rebels, who harbors dark secrets. Despite recognizing the danger he represents, Sage finds herself drawn to him. Sage joins Von and the Cursed rebels on a dangerous quest. Unknown to her, fate and the gods are influencing events around her. The story draws inspiration from the mythology of Hades and Persephone.
