The Lies that Summon the Night: A Songs for the Sinless Novel

The first book in the Songs for the Sinless romantasy series, set in a world where art is forbidden. Creative works once gave life to bloodthirsty shadows, and now talented creators are sacrificed to the Sinless—immortal royals who consume human blood in exchange for protection. Inana is a secret storyteller who earns a living performing illicit fiction in the city's underworld. When Dominic, a half-Sinless monster hunter known as a Shadowbane, discovers her, he forces her into an alliance: he needs an artist to summon shadows to complete his hunt, and she needs to survive. Inana agrees, planning to betray him at the first opportunity. As their dangerous partnership deepens, dark secrets emerge about each other, their world, and the threats surrounding them. A growing desire between them becomes increasingly risky, with consequences that could destabilize their entire world.
