A Blade of Blood and Shadow: A Slow-Burn Dark Fae Romantasy

Lyra has three rules for staying alive: Keep your blades sharp, don’t trust anyone, and never, ever bargain with the fae.

As a huntress living in the Blood Quarter among vampires, witches, and faeries, Lyra has learned to survive in a world of death and shadows. She dreams of one day escaping her life of brutality under a ruthless master, but when she’s ambushed by a horde of demons, her salvation comes from an unexpected source — a handsome dark fae whose allure is as deadly as his magic.

Kaden is powerful, cunning, and charming — everything Lyra has been bred to distrust. But with demons invading the mortal realm, Lyra is no longer certain that the monsters of her world are the biggest threat she faces.

As Kaden draws her into the shimmering, deceptive world of the fae and cracks the door to her past, Lyra begins to question the limits of her own powers and the motives of those who seek to harness them.

Can she trust the male who’s slipped into her heart, or will her desire be her undoing?
