THE NEW DARK FANTASY ROMANCE NOVEL FROM ALEXANDRA CHRISTO, AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION, TO KILL A KINGDOM.
Enter a world of gods, mortals and monsters . . .
Atia is an immortal trickster who feeds on fear. As the last of her kind, she thinks herself safe from the wrath of the unpredictable Gods.
Silas is a Herald, carrying messages and ferrying the dead as punishment from the Gods for a past crime he can't remember.
Atia would never dream of working with a servant of the gods, but when she breaks a sacred law, Silas offers her a deal: he'll help her avenge her family and take on the Gods. In return, she must help him break the curse that binds him and restore his humanity. All they need to do is kill three powerful creatures: a vampire, a banshee and one of the very Gods who destroyed both their lives. Only together can they finally rewrite their destinies.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Tricia Levenseller and Leigh Bardugo, this is a thrilling fast-paced fantasy with breath-taking romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A monster who's the last of her kind and a Herald of death team up to kill a God in this electrifying fantasy romance from Christo (To Kill a Kingdom). Seventeen-year-old Atia is the last Nefas—a creature who subsists on fear—and she has lived in hiding ever since the Gods, who seek to wipe Nefas from existence, murdered her parents. After feeding off a human's terror, Atia crosses paths with Gods-cursed Silas, a shepherd of lost souls whose century-long punishment for his unremembered mortal sins is to guide departed spirits to the afterlife. When Silas dooms Atia for committing an unforgivable act, he offers her a trade: he will help her break her curse if she aids him in escaping his own so that he may once again be human. But to break each other's enchantments, they must kill a vampire, a banshee—and a God. Complexly layered worldbuilding gives way to a fast-paced quest rife with ascending stakes and richly nuanced characters at the center. Via Atia and Silas's alternating POVs, Christo expertly volleys between snarky banter and gory horror while spinning a memorable enemies-to-lovers romance set amid a page-turning adventure. Characters are racially diverse. Ages 13–up.
