The Lies That Summon the Night

Nevernight meets Filthy Rich Vampire in this dark romantasy in which an outlaw is caught by a bounty hunter who gives her an ultimatum - serve him or he'll claim her bounty - in a world where creativity and art are forbidden, and humanity's sins are monsters given flesh. For fans of Geneva Lee, Raven Kennedy and Carissa Broadbent.

From the art of liars, the monsters came...

Ever since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows, creative works have been forbidden. The talented are sacrificed to the Sinless - the immortal royals who feast on human blood.

Inana's secret storytelling nearly got her killed once, and she'll be damned if she's ever caught again. With a bounty on her head, she keeps to the city's dark underbelly where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction.

Until a Shadowbane catches one of her performances...

Dominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But the murderous shades he tracks aren't the only creatures with bloodlust; Shadowbanes must consume blood to survive. And to complete his hunt, he needs an artist to summon the shadows. Inana is just what he needs.

Dominic delivers an ultimatum: serve him or he'll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left, the choice is clear. At least until she can betray him and leave him for dead...

As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, dark secrets unravel - about each other, their world, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There's something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.
