The Knight and the Moth meets Phantasma in this spellbinding gothic, enemies-to-lovers tale of life, death and the dangerous bond between two sworn rivals.
--
Jonquil Foye wields the power of Life.
Her sworn enemy, Edmund Blackburn, wields the power of Death.
On the battlefield, they clash in a deadly duel meant to decide the fate of their warring cities-until their magics entwine and create a volatile being so powerful it drags them both deep into Death itself.
Forced into a reluctant truce, Jonquil and Edmund must navigate the treacherous underworld and confront the horrifying consequences of their own creation.
As time runs out, their alliance sparks a deeper attraction. But truces are fragile, and Death seems determined to ensure they never return to the land of the living. . .
Brutal, gorgeous, and heart-stopping, this gothic dark fantasy romance is perfect for readers who crave high-stakes tension, lushly dark atmospheres, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance with a touch of horror.
Tropes:
True enemies to lovers
Yearning
