WOULD IT BE SO BAD, TO BE DEVOURED?

Fi has a rare gift: the ability to walk the Void, perfect for her work as a cross-dimensional smuggler. Survival and fortune depend on following her strict set of rules: keep your routes secret, draw your energy sword first, and - at all costs - avoid the daeyari, the immortal beasts armed with antlers, claws, and tails who feast on humans.

When a particularly shady job goes terribly wrong, Fi is thrown at the feet of the one daeyari lord she never wanted to meet.

Antal is a hunter, seemingly as cold as he is cunning - but in over his head, with his city crumbling and this infuriating smuggler insisting she had nothing to do with it. So he offers Fi a deal: help him find the mastermind behind the attack and he'll spare her life.

Neither are prepared for what it will ignite. The taboo alliance between predator and prey could spark a revolution - and a temptation, for how sweet the monster's fangs might feel.

From the author of The Phoenix Keeper, this instant Sunday Times bestseller introduces a dazzling new monster romance series filled with parallel worlds, irreverent banter, and dexterous tails - unmissable for fans of Bride by Ali Hazelwood and Quicksilver by Callie Hart.

Critics Review

Voidwalker is a gorgeous, genre-defying journey through broken worlds. MacLean's prose is addictive, her plotting, deft, her worldbuilding fascinating and atmospheric. I dove through page after page, glorying in the bloody, beautiful chaos of it all. (Send help, I may now have a thing for antlers)
Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
Is there space in the Void for one more? The Beasts of the Void series is a delicious thrill ride of ferocious snark, deeply questionable decisions, and the most wet cat monster cannibal one could ever want. I don't think I've ever read 1200 pages so quickly, or had so much fun doing it!
V.L. Bovalino, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Second Death of Locke
Against a vivid world shattered by shadow and fear, MacLean's characters blaze fierce, flawed, and unforgettable. Voidwalker is your vicious new obsession
Lyra Selene, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Feather so Black
For everyone who wished the beast hadn't turned back into a human . . . MacLean has crafted a unique world that feels at once familiar and yet entirely her own. The characters claw their way into your heart and leash you to their story from the very first page and I'm not sure if I devoured the book or if it devoured me
Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire
Voidwalker is epic and stunningly original. A fierce heroine, an equally ferocious hero (with a tail!), an exquisitely sexy romance, a fascinating and immersive world . . . What's not to love? I'm utterly obsessed
Sarah Hawley, author of A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon
Voidwalker is a book that bites back. Utterly unputdownable! I stayed up way too late reading about Fionamara, the ferocious protagonist desperate to hide her soft heartedness; and Antal, whose monstrous nature makes him all the more alluring. Set against the backdrop of a gritty world with a unique magic system, Voidwalker's twists and turns pulled me in, chewed me up, and spit me out - and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Readers searching for a romantasy that feels truly new will adore this book!
Alexandra Kennington, author of Blood Beneath the Snow
Voidwalker devoured me, as entirely as a daeyari devours a sacrifice. This book is deliciously sharp, achingly romantic, and gloriously messy in only the best ways. Feral and flirtatious, it's equal parts teeth and tenderness. Fi and Antal's banter made me laugh, scream, and fall headfirst into the Void. I'd walk between worlds for this book. My new obsession, and easily a new favourite
Mikayla Bridge, author of Of Flame and Fury
Populated by monsters as seductive as sharp teeth at your throat, Voidwalker features deliciously tender depictions of grief and forgiveness. I was enamored by foul-mouthed Fionamara and man-eating Void monster Antal: the biggest Green Flag with antlers across any of the cosmic planes
Sara Omer, author of The Gryphon King
From the first page, Voidwalker plunged me into a stunningly drawn world of immortal monsters, high-stakes political schemes, and a slow-burn romance with potentially deadly consequences . . . and it was enormous fun to visit. I simply cannot wait to return!
Rebecca Podos, co-author of Homegrown Magic and winner of the Lambda Literary Award.
MacLean hits all the right notes in this rip-roaring romantasy . . . MacLean expertly balances romance and fantasy, keeping up the plot's momentum without skimping on steamy scenes. Monster romance fans should snap this up
Publishers Weekly
A spicy enemies-to-lovers monster romance about a smuggler who finds herself allied with her worst nightmares-and falling for them . . . In this series starter, the lines between predator and prey become blurred in the most delicious ways. With enjoyable characters, relatable themes, and a hot romance, Voidwalker will leave readers pining for the next installment in the Beasts of the Void series
