House of Dusk

A romantic epic fantasy featuring a fire-wielding nun grappling with her dark past and a young spy caught between her mission and a growing attraction to an enemy princess

With complex relationships, a rich and mythic world, and brisk pacing, this standalone novel is perfect for fans of Tasha Suri, Samantha Shannon, and Shannon Chakraborty

Ten years ago, Sephre left behind her life as a war hero and took holy vows to seek redemption for her crimes, wielding the flames of the Phoenix to purify the dead. As corpses rise, a long-dead god stirs, and shadowy serpents creep from the underworld, she has no choice but to draw on the past she's been trying to forget.

Orphaned by the war Sephre helped win, Yeneris has trained half her life to be the perfect spy. Undercover as bodyguard to Sinoe, a princess with prophetic tears, Yeneris is searching for a saint's stolen bones. Her growing attraction to the princess is proving dangerous, and Yeneris struggles to balance her feelings for Sinoe with duty to her people.

With the world on the edge of a second cataclysm, Sephre must decide whether to be bound by her past or to forge a better future. Even if it means renouncing her vows and accepting a new terrible power. Meanwhile, Yeneris must find a way to remain true to herself and save both her mission and her heart.

As dead gods rise and corruption creeps across the world, this sweeping standalone fantasy tale of forbidden sapphic love and dark betrayal will set your heart ablaze.
