Synopsis

"You'll be reading well into the night and yearning to get the next book as soon as the last page is turned!"— Debbie Shannon, author of The Rainy Night Stalker

A princess taken for ransom.

A notorious bandit with blood on his hands.

A forgotten power that could save a kingdom—or destroy it.

Princess Sarna has spent her life believing she was ordinary. But when she's kidnapped by the infamous outlaw Luca, an ancient magic buried deep within her begins to awaken.

It's a power no one should possess.

As Sarna struggles to survive captivity, she finds herself drawn to the dangerous man who should be her enemy. Luca is ruthless, haunted by his past, and willing to do whatever it takes to protect those under his command. But with kingdoms marching toward war and something ancient stirring beneath the world of Jyn, even he may not be enough to keep her alive.

Far to the north, Sarna's brother, Prince Shayan, fights to hold together a kingdom crumbling beneath the weight of a mad king. Across the realm, a forgotten evil awakens. Monstrous creatures emerge from legend.

The fate of kingdoms may rest with a young woman who was never meant to wield magic at all. In a realm of men and monsters, warriors and warlocks, one young girl is their only hope.

Filled with terrifying creatures, unforgettable characters, dangerous magic, sweeping adventure, and a slow-burn romance forged in the shadow of war, The Atrocity Bells is the beginning of an epic dark fantasy where every victory demands a sacrifice—and every answer uncovers a greater horror.

The Atrocity Bells is the first novel in The Lost Books of Jyn, an epic dark fantasy duology that combines the sweeping adventure and ancient mysteries of The Wheel of Time, the morally complex romance of The Bridge Kingdom, and the dark, monster-filled atmosphere of The Witcher.

Perfect for readers who love:

* Dark fantasy with horror elements

* Slow-burn, character-driven romance

* Morally complex heroes and villains

* Ancient mysteries and dangerous magic

* High-stakes adventures where no one is truly safe
