WOULD IT BE SO BAD, TO BE DEVOURED?
Fi has carved out a career as a cross-dimensional smuggler by sticking to simple rules: keep your routes secret, always draw your energy sword first, and - at all costs - avoid the daeyari, the carnivorous immortals who have ruled for millennia.
When she's hired to smuggle a bomb into the capital, instinct tells her the risk isn't worth the pay, but the entreaty of a long-lost friend guilts her into accepting. Until the heist goes terribly wrong, and Fi is thrown at the feet of the daeyari lord, Antal, as payment.
Antal is a hunter - cold and cunning and furious at Fi for her part in the attack on his city. Her saving grace is a common enemy: he'll spare her if she helps him uncover who masterminded the scheme. To save her life, her family, and the village she calls home, Fi must join Antal on a new hunt with far higher stakes than she's ever faced before, bartering with neighbouring immortals who might offer an alliance - or tear their throats out in the snow.
She's always known the dangers of her trade - and of the power she's wielded since childhood, allowing her to see the secret doors between realities, to walk the Void itself. But nothing could have prepared her for meeting Antal. For the deal she's been forced to make, and what that deal might ignite. A revolution. And a temptation - for how sweet the monster's fangs might feel.
From the author of instant Sunday Times bestseller The Phoenix Keeper comes a dazzling new fantasy universe unmissable for fans of the world-building scale of Sarah J. Maas and the world-shifting stakes of Rebecca Yarros.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
MacLean (The Phoenix Keeper) hits all the right notes in this rip-roaring romantasy, the first in her Beasts of the Void series. In a world where human-eating monsters called daeyari rule over human villages and demand sacrifice in exchange for protection and basic necessities, human Fionamara "Fi" Kolbeck smuggles supplies through the Void, a space between dimensions, to keep her village thriving without having to rely on the beneficence of its daeyari Antal. After a job goes horribly wrong and Fi winds up in the middle of a terrorist attack against the capitol building where Antal lives, she's apprehended and forced to work with the daeyari to investigate. Fi initially abhors the idea, but as she spends more time with Antal, she develops intense feelings for him—antlers, tail, fangs, and all. As they embark on a passionate affair, they discover a grave threat against the village. To combat it, they'll need the entire village onboard, but convincing Fi's fellow humans to support a daeyari will be difficult. MacLean expertly balances romance and fantasy, keeping up the plot's momentum without skimping on steamy scenes. Monster romance fans should snap this up.
