In this blockbuster epic pulsing with powerful magic and political tension, follow Eclipse and Wolf as they race to save a world on the verge of collapse.
Welcome to St Paradise: where the founding clans' elites trade in secrets, sex and goods – a glittering city dripping with wealth and blood, old and new.
Eclipse Orinabe has not forgotten the blood that transformed her. One of the few survivors of the Orinabe clan massacre, she has been raised to be a bigger terror than the one she lived through: a weapon of destruction disguised as a beautiful debutante.
Though the Orinabe have secured a violent rise to power, a brutal reckoning is on the horizon. Wolf – Heir to the mercenary Gold shot clan – is on the run from his own people, while Noah – the volatile Heir to the psychic Solarin clan – is harbouring a secret powerful enough to destroy St. Paradise in an instant. All are watched from the shadows by Clan Heron – spies so secretive that no one knows their true Heir.
Seeking relief from her duties, Eclipse sneaks out to party on neutral territory.
But such escape is like running on a knife's edge. When she crosses paths with Wolf, a strange and powerful bond sparks between them – one that will transform the future of St. Paradise and the clans forever.
'Rich worldbuilding and vicious protagonists anchor this unforgettable epic fantasy, which introduces us to the precarious political positions of St. Paradise and the clans that rule it. This is a story with teeth, a breath taking rush of adventure that will cut you down to your marrow and leave you wanting more', Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of An Arcane Inheritance 'If you ever wanted a Romeo & Juliet (1996) fantasy that's queer as hell, completely unflinching, and emotionally devastating in the best way possible...y'all simply must read this book', Kate Robert, New York Times.
