Beschrijving uitgever
I'm not the princess they think I am.
I fell out of the sky and into a new world only to be attacked by a monster.
The people here think I'm the daughter of the Nimali dragon king.
When the king assigns me a healer, I learn the truth of this place. A war between shifter clans is raging. Bloody battles rage between the Nimali and the Fai.
The healer hates me for who he thinks I am. He's a Fai captive in this land.
But a string pulls me to him whenever he's near. Every touch. Every look. Every stolen moment.
The Nimali have no tolerance for outsiders. If they find out I'm not their princess, they will kill me.
She is the daughter of my greatest enemy.
I'm a Fai warrior, doing the bidding of the Nimali king to heal the princess. This is the penalty of war.
Secretly, I work with the rebellion to free my people.
Nimali are everything I hate. The princess is everything I despise. Cold. Aloof. Uncaring.
Up close, she's nothing like I thought.
I don't expect to crave her. I don't expect the spark between us. Our souls calling to one another.
I am a prisoner. She is a princess.
Our lies are the only thing keeping us alive.
Savage City is a dystopian, enemies-to-lovers, portal, shifter fantasy romance with intriguing worldbuilding and thrilling action.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Penelope (Requiem of Silence) launches her Bliss Wars series with a seamless blend of fantasy subgenres, wrenching action, and all-too-human characters. After 23-year-old Talia dies in an accident, she's transported to a fantastical, post-apocalyptic world populated by powerful shape-shifter factions where she's mistaken for the lost princess Celena and must play the part in order to survive. Everything in this strange new world feels faintly familiar to her—especially Ryin, a Fai prisoner of war held captive by the ruling Nimali faction as their never-ending battle over the resource known as Bliss rages. For his part, Ryin knows he shouldn't be so attracted to Princess Celena, the daughter of his sworn enemy, but there's something about Talia that draws him in—in much the same way they're both drawn into the political intrigues of their feuding factions. Alternating perspectives between these protagonists, Penelope offers a wonderfully in-depth exploration of their characters, forcing readers to reevaluate the dichotomy of hero and villain. The romance blossoms organically against a background that skillfully mixes high fantasy elements with an urban post-apocalypse. Readers will be eager to see what comes next. (Self-published)
