For romantic epic fantasy fans who loved From Blood and Ash, The Song of the Marked, and The Bridge Kingdom. Step into a Greek-inspired world of warriors, vampires, and fae who are tangled up in a haunting curse. Dark, enchanting, addictive escapism wrapped in a swoon-worthy romance.

The Isle of Meraki has been ruled by women for four hundred years. That is certain, but what the legends don't tell us is how they overtook the throne.

Evanthe Sideris, 27-year-old daughter of a fallen monarch, is determined to bring honor to her mother's name once more. She's a trained Stone Holder of Meraki, likely to earn a place in the next Noonsnight, but that isn't enough for her. In a moment of desperation, she makes a dire bargain to gain advantage and is left with a burden so deadly she may lose everything she has worked for.

Aero Vouvali, 30-year-old Prince of Baros, has learned above all else- Never trust a woman. Many years ago, his ancestors were banished from Meraki and left to fend for themselves on a foreign isle. Despite the odds, they thrived- until now. His people face a grave famine and taking back Meraki may be their only way to survive. When the consequences of Evanthe's pact threaten his expedition, he must set aside past grievances and fight beside her or lose everything.

She owes him an island.

He owes her his sword.

Together, they get so much more than they bargained for.
