“This is how you do romantasy!” —Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

An alliance between enemies. A weapon of untold power. And a bond that could rewrite fate.

Fall into the viral, propulsive dark romantasy everyone is reading. A fae assassin with the power of illusion, sworn to a king she despises. An enigmatic grim reaper, searching for freedom. Enemies collide in an unlikely alliance, brimming with desire and destruction.

She is not the pet they tamed.

Blessed with the power of illusion, Iverson Pomeroy has many tricks up her sleeve. However, none of them are a match for the enchanted collar at her throat that keeps her bound as assassin and mistress to a ruthless king. Forced to play the role of his obedient pet, she plots in secret to destroy him and claim the freedom she has always been denied.

She is the beast they let inside.

When a mysterious reaper, Thorne, arrives in the city with his sights set on the same weapon Ivy needs—the only artifact that can remove her collar—she must decide how far she’s willing to go.

And she will show no mercy.

With a tenuous alliance tying them together, Ivy learns there is more to her reluctant companion than meets the eye... He sparks her curiosity and ignites dangerous desires within her. But will the secrets they harbor destroy each other? And does it even matter, when anyone who so much as touches Thorne dies?

Tropes

Enemies to lovers / shadow daddy / female assassin / who did this to you / unlikely alliance / he falls first / banter / touch her and die / slow burn / morally gray MMC

Better than expected

This was certainly surprising. This is a well-written fantasy-romance. Its twists and turns make this a very thrilling ride. If you want a slow burn that ends in a whirlwind.. this one is for you. I cannot wait for the next one!!

Heir of Illusion

The story was so much different than I thought. It was gonna be people who are gods being hidden their entire lives until it’s time to take over.

Book Hangover Commence

Just over here dying after realizing how new this book is, and how far away book 2 probably is!

Can’t believe this wasn’t on my radar!

Finished it in two days - plot twist 😳🤯 Dual narration was a must. Plated Prisoner Series vibe with a strong FMC.
