House of Bane and Blood: An addictive fantasy romance (Vows of Vengeance Book 1)

In the city of Lynchaven, divided between two opposing sides, power derives from bloodlines, money, love, and secrets. Camilla Marchese, an heiress of the notorious Marchese family that runs the Iron Saint Railway syndicate, faces her family's financial collapse. When Nicolai Attano, leader of a rival family, offers to pay off the Inspector in exchange for her hand in marriage, Camilla agrees to give up her position and name. Nicolai has motivations beyond maintaining peace: a serial kidnapper called The Collector has been abducting people from Remnant Row, creating tension between natives and descendants. If Camilla can help restore safety to his streets, he will have no further need for her or her family's business. Camilla must find The Collector, prevent war between the city's sides, and resolve the family debt before her twenty-first birthday. Success means unprecedented freedom. However, the arrangement draws Camilla into the city's criminal underworld, where remnant magic and arcane science operate in tandem. As forbidden feelings develop for her new husband and family secrets emerge, Camilla must uncover truths about her past before they prove fatal. Set in a post-industrial magical Isle, the story combines elements of organized crime with fantasy romance.
