Dark, sexy, and twisty, this book will seize you by the throat and hold your attention to the very end – Andrea Stewart, author of Bone Shard Daughter, on Mistress of Lies

LOVE WILL BE THEIR RUIN

Six months have passed since the failed coup led by Isaac De La Cruz, and Shan LeClaire is struggling under the weight of her role as Royal Blood Worker. With a dwindling blood supply and a nation hungry for more, Shan is forced to turn to darker means to meet the need. And that is only the beginning of the horrors demanded by her Eternal King.

Now a Councillor to the King, Samuel is caught in a web of politics and bylaws. Overwhelmed by the realization that true change can never come from within, he breaks away from Shan and turns to her rebellious brother to help free Isaac De La Cruz from the King’s dungeons. But Isaac’s freedom comes at a cost.

The magic he once tampered with has changed him—turning him from man to monster. Yet a monster may be the only one powerful enough to stand against the Eternal King. Embracing his inner beast, Isaac prepares to shatter a broken nation, even if it means losing the people he loves most.

Lord of Ruin is the gripping sequel to Mistress of Lies—a dark fantasy romance packed with sizzling spice, vampiric blood magic, and ruthless political intrigue.
