Reader fit

This book is great for

Dark romantasy that is genuinely dark — the author says outright there's no hero here, and she means it. Check the content notes before you commit; this one ends on a cliffhanger into Shadows So Cruel.

  • wants captor romance where the captivity is never quietly excused
  • likes two men with completely opposite plans for the same woman
  • reads romantasy for the politics as much as the romance
  • needs the villains to stay villains
