Neuware -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 . . . 656 pp. Englisch.

The ultimate slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros 🖤 🗡

The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.

I’ve spent my life kneeling to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.

I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.

But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father’s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.

Now I’m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn’t choose and a husband I barely know.

Everyone wants me to be something I’m not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.

But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there’s power in being underestimated?

And what if for the first time I reached for it?

Tropes:

Enemies to Lovers
Magic, Myths and Monsters
Slow-Burn
Forced Proximity
Arranged Marriage
Hidden Identity
High Stakes

Now a Feature Film in Development with Amazon MGM Studios!
