What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Get ready to discover your next reading obsession with the first book in the irresistible new enemies-to-lovers romantasy series from the author of The Song of the Marked, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo.
Love blooms in the darkness...
Princess Bellanova has spent years in exile after escaping the curse that cast a death-like slumber over her family. Her talents for necromancy – and thievery – have kept her alive and given her a fearsome reputation.
But survival isn’t enough. Luminor, the Blade of Light, lies deep in the belly of the underworld. Stealing it back into the realm of the living could undo the curse and restore her family, her reputation and her kingdom to life.
All that stands in her way are monsters, unpredictable magic… and Aleksander, the infamous Light King himself, who wielded the blade on the night of her family’s ruin.
King Aleks has spent nearly a decade trapped in the underworld. He needs Nova if he’s going to escape back to the world above, and she needs him to undo the curse.
But as an ancient magic begins to unfold, their reluctant alliance blooms into something deeper – and more dangerous…
