Announcing the Standalone Spicy Dark Romantasy Readers Can't Stop Talking About: Discover the Lethally Addictive World of The Marrow of the Fallen Gods.
Love is not a virtue in the abyss-it is a contagion.
Vespera Nighting is a battle-scarred practitioner of somatic magic who views emotional attachment as a terminal vulnerability. Her life in the shadowed margins of Necropolis-Aethel is simple: perform the Absolution Rite with her silver needles, draw out the physical filth of strangers' sins, and save enough coin to buy her freedom. But when Maelor-the banished, silver-tongued Lord of Nightmares-arrives at her threshold bled dry by solar inquisitors, a desperate anchor ritual goes catastrophically wrong.
A fractured piece of Maelor's divine soul-shard seals directly inside Vespera's left ventricle. The moment the magic binds, her heart stops... and restarts with a double beat.
Two Ruined Souls. One Shared Heartbeat. Zero Escape.
Suddenly, their fates are welded together by an unforgiving biological law: Maelor physically materializes from her shadow, but he cannot move more than fifty paces from her heart without his body dissolving into void-mist. If Vespera dies, Maelor vanishes forever. But every time Maelor channels his divine void-fire, Vespera's blood boils into jagged, charcoal veins.
To survive the ruthless noble houses of the Shadow Court and the fanatical solar crusaders marching from the upper skies, this deadly artisan and arrogant nightmare god must forge a treacherous alliance. Forced into a fake royal betrothal, their undeniable physical proximity ignites an explosive, uninhibited passion that neither can control.
When an ancient secret reveals that their soul-tether was forged long before this life, they must decide if they will tear the heavens down to bedrock together in this unforgettable enemies-to-lovers spicy dark romantasy epic.
