What to expect
Delve into The Beasts We Raise — the mesmerising sequel to D. L. Taylor's addictive enemies-to-lovers romantasy The Beasts We Bury.
'A captivating romantic fantasy' - Kelly Andrew, bestselling author of Your Blood, My Bones on The Beasts We Bury
Marry her enemy. Save her realm. Forsake her heart.
Mancella has defeated her tyrannous father and ascended the throne — but her fractured realm and unruly magic threaten to destroy everything she has won. Rumours swirl of a secret enemy plotting her downfall. Her budding romance with Silver, thief turned confidant, is the only thing keeping Mance together.
A proposal from Reltas, the leader of a neighbouring nation, offers a chance of healing — but a strategic marriage is hardly what Mance or Silver had in mind.
Desperate to avoid the marriage to arrogant Reltas, Mance seeks to tame her magic and cultivate other allies. If she fails, there will be war.
What is the price of peace when hearts are on the line?
