Blurb:

To survive the arena, she must trust her enemies.

Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers — until the vampire standing on her doorstep turns their world upside down. Faced with an unthinkable choice, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the impossible: kill the emperor, an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros. But first she must enter the Sundering, an arena where only the fastest, strongest and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard.

As the stakes climb, she draws the ire of the Primus, the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor — and finds herself forced to depend on the last people she’d ever choose: the man who once shattered her heart, and the emperor’s sadistic son, Rorrik, whose motives are impossible to pin down. To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must unravel a deadly conspiracy that could change everything she believes about herself, and about the two vampires bound to her destiny.

A slow-burn romantasy set in a Roman-inspired world ruled by merciless vampires, filled with breathtaking combat, vengeful gods and magical creatures.

The Sunday Times bestselling romantasy of tournament trials, dangerous vampires and a deadly vow of vengeance — an intoxicating, slow-burn first instalment perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent.

Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers, forbidden love, a deadly tournament and a slow-burn love triangle — and fans of Carissa Broadbent, Jasmine Mas and Rebecca Yarros.
