About Tales of a Deadly Devotion

From the author of instant Sunday Times bestseller Tales of a Monstrous Heart, comes a spellbinding new dark fantasy filled with gothic romance and forbidden magic - perfect for readers of Sarah J Maas and Rachel Gillig.

DARKNESS ALWAYS FINDS ITS WAY BACK.

As Fey wage hopeless war against the oncoming storm of mortal conquest, Fairfax Manor lies in ruins. The first witches of Blackthorn forged the ancient fortress from their very souls to keep those of their bloodline safe. No one is safe now.

Katherine Woodrow might have survived persecution at the Institute of Magic and journeyed across the divided lands of Elysior to study magic with the legendary Lord Emrys Blackthorn himself, but losing her heart and almost her life wasn't on the curriculum.

All magic has a price - a price Alma would rather have died than see Kat pay. But the dark isn't finished with Kat yet. And Alma will stop at nothing to save her, drawing on the power of the beasts that simmer beneath her skin and even facing the secrets of her own past to help her friend.

And there's no time to lose. Because more demons are escaping from the cursed texts the mortals failed to guard. The world is slipping back into darkness. And something is returning...

In a society that fears female power, can Agnes find the strength to forge her own destiny?
