Publisher Description
From the author of The Phoenix Keeper comes a dazzling new monster romance series filled with parallel worlds, irreverent banter, and dexterous tails - unmissable for fans of Bride by Ali Hazelwood and Quicksilver by Callie Hart.
WOULD IT BE SO BAD, TO BE DEVOURED?
Fi has a rare gift: the ability to walk the Void, perfect for her work as a cross-dimensional smuggler. Survival and fortune depend on following her strict set of rules: keep your routes secret, draw your energy sword first, and - at all costs - avoid the daeyari, the immortal beasts armed with antlers, claws, and tails who feast on humans.
When a particularly shady job goes terribly wrong, Fi is thrown at the feet of the one daeyari lord she never wanted to meet.
Antal is a hunter, seemingly as cold as he is cunning - but in over his head, with his city crumbling and this infuriating smuggler insisting she had nothing to do with it. So he offers Fi a deal: help him find the mastermind behind the attack and he'll spare her life.
Neither are prepared for what it will ignite. The taboo alliance between predator and prey could spark a revolution - and a temptation, for how sweet the monster's fangs might feel.
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.
