The gods sent their finest killer to end her. She's decided to keep him instead.
Aelia Cole has spent a thousand years burying everyone she loves. As the daughter of an imprisoned god of ruin, she cannot die, cannot stop fighting, and cannot outrun the grief of outliving every person she lets close. So she stopped letting them close. She teaches history under a name that was never hers, keeps a blade across her knees at night, and tells herself the war is over.
Then an assassin finds her with a blade meant for her throat.
Caelan Vorin doesn't know what he is - only what he's ordered to do: hunt the old, dangerous bloodlines the gods want gone. Aelia should have been an easy contract. Instead he hesitates, one heartbeat too long - and rather than kill the man sent to end her, she offers him a deal. Something ancient in his blood has already recognized something ancient in hers.
Now the two of them are unraveling a truth neither wanted to find. The nine gates between worlds are cracking open. Old gods are stirring in their prisons. And something Aelia buried a thousand years ago, something that should have stayed buried, is walking free.
Every step toward the truth pulls them further from the mission that was meant to end with one of them dead - and closer to a prophecy that names Aelia the ruin of the world, and its rebirth both.
She has spent a thousand years learning she cannot keep anything.
She is done learning it.
Daughter of Ruin is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers dark fantasy romance for readers who want their gods furious, their assassins morally gray, and their love stories dangerous enough to reopen a door that should have stayed shut.
