The start of a riveting new duology, it pulses with high-stakes action, heart-stopping plot twists and swoon worthy enemies-to-lovers romance. Don’t miss this master of the fantasy craft in conversation with romantasy superstar Stacey McEwan for a thrilling conversation about secrets, magic, vengeance and love.
