Terror at the Gates by Scarlett St. Clair (Hardback)

A Devilishly Good Fantasy Romance from the Author of the Hades x Persephone Saga: 1

Lilith Leviathan lives on the edge of a world that fears and controls power. Cut off from her influential family, she finds refuge in Nineveh, a district of Eden where sin thrives and survival depends on skill and secrecy. Using her magic to steal, Lilith keeps herself afloat while drawing the attention of those who rule the city and those who seek to control it.

Her life takes a dangerous turn when she acquires a striking blade unlike anything she has seen before. What should have been a simple exchange turns into chaos when her buyer dies under mysterious circumstances. Suddenly, the weapon places her at the centre of something far greater than she understands.

With no other options, Lilith turns to Zahariev, the powerful head of the Zareth family. Known for dealing in secrets and leverage, he has always shown her a rare kindness. Yet even he cannot fully shield her from the forces now closing in.

As they work together to uncover the truth behind the blade, they are pulled into a deeper conflict shaping their world. Their bond begins to shift, moving beyond friendship into something more, even as the risks around them grow. What they uncover threatens not only their lives, but the foundations of power that hold everything together.
