Souls In Ruin

Raven Kennedy's Gild meets Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash in this dark and riveting romantasy following an illegitamate princess caught up in the revenge of gods, the first book in a trilogy about survival, obsession, and the quiet fury of a woman who won't be forgotten. A marriage forged in blood. A kingdom bathed in silence. And a princess who refuses to break. As the king's illegitimate daughter, Princess Mireille has spent her whole life scorned by the court, her fate never her own, even now as she's forced into marriage with the infamous conqueror threatening her kingdom's borders. She expects distance, perhaps even cold civility from the Blood King - not the unsettling pull of his attention. Yet when their wedding descends into bloodshed, the man meant to be her escape becomes her captor, imprisoning her in her own dungeons. There, Mireille uncovers the truth of her father's sins, discovering she's not alone beneath the castle. A voice calls from the cell beside her, a man as dangerous as he is alluring, offering a single thread of light in the darkness.  Dragged into a brutal struggle for survival, Mireille is caught between two powerful beings that threaten to consume her entirely: one demanding obedience, and the other craving what little soul she has left. But Mireille was not born to kneel. *This is a dark fantasy romance for a mature, 18+ audience and contains themes and content that aren't to everyone's liking.
