Description

Expelled from her prestigious boarding school and facing her family’s collapse, eighteen-year-old Lacrimosa Arriscane returns to a coastal town where old gods are not stories—they are bargains. To secure her future, she enters a marriage of convenience with Therion, a chthonic power worshipped in isolation, only for the pact to sour and begin pulling her out of the mortal world. Desperate, she turns to Alastair Felimath—her first heartbreak—and his magnetic older sister, Camille, as the three unravel local folklore and the dangerous romance that binds them closer than they can control. In Lyndall Clipstone’s lush, monstrously Gothic romantasy style, devotion, desire, and inheritance collide, drawing readers into a world of ritual, rivalry, and escalating supernatural peril where saving what you love may require becoming something you fear.
