Unholy Terrors

A bloodstained tale of a girl torn between her vows and her heart, where falling in love may be the deepest sin of all. A captivating and darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas.

From acclaimed Australian author Lyndall Clipstone comes a spellbinding, darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas.

Everline Blackthorn has devoted her life to the wardens - warriors who guard against monsters known as the vespertine. When a series of strange omens occur, Everline disobeys orders to investigate and uncovers a startling truth in the form of Ravel Severin- a rogue vespertine who reveals the monsters have secrets of their own.
Ravel promises the help she needs - for a price. Vespertine magic requires blood, but it's a sin for a warden to feed a vespertine - let alone fall in love with one - and as Everline and Ravel travel farther across the moorland, she realises the question isn't whether she will survive the journey, but if she will return unchanged.
