The epic romantasy Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller
Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters to remind us of our insignificance.
But I didn’t need a deity to tell me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance.
Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm.
That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe.
And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .
