All the Ways I Fought You Book One of The Patient Dark
Seraphine Vale has been condemned for a murder she didn't commit. She has eleven days in a cell to figure out who framed her, and one morning left to live - until the empire's most feared enforcer unlocks her door instead of carrying out her sentence.
Cael Draveth has followed every order given to him for fifteen years. He tells himself he has never questioned one. He is beginning to understand that this is not the same as never having reason to.
What they find beneath the palace's foundation changes everything: a four-century-old agreement between the human world and something that was here long before it, deliberately destabilised by a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the empire's ruling council.
Seraphine must restore a relationship that has been broken for four hundred years. Cael must decide what kind of person he is willing to become. And the thing below the city has been patient for a very long time - but patience, like all things, has its limits.
Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Found family. Dark fantasy with real stakes and a romance that earns every page.
