The Lies That Summon the Night
21 January 2027Imprint: Zaffre
Synopsis
Discover the instant Sunday Times bestselling dark romantasy set in a world where creativity and art are forbidden, and humanity's sins are monsters given flesh, from the author of Curse of the Wolf King. Perfect for fans of Geneva Lee, Raven Kennedy and Carissa Broadbent.
READERS ARE OBSESSED WITH THE LIES THAT SUMMON THE NIGHT:
*'If you want a brilliant fantasy, with a strong, determined, likeable FMC, vampires, found family, and so much more, then this is the book for you!'*
*'When I tell you I was HOOKED on this book from the very first chapter, it's the truth'*
*Oh my word! This book! It's like nothing I've ever read before - it's top-tier romantasy!'*
*'This needs to be everyone's must-read. The ending - crying and shocked. Cannot wait for the next one'*
The darkest sins taste the sweetest . . .
When art birthed vicious shadow monsters hungering for those who created it, all forms of creative expression were banned.
But the immortal royals destined to be humanity's salvation have their own monstrous affliction: the need to consume human blood.
Inana's illegal storytelling has turned her fugitive. She has evaded capture so far, continuing to weave tales for the most desperate.
Until a Shadowbane catches one of her performances . . .
Dominic is filled with as much bloodlust as the shadow monsters he hunts, and he needs an artist to summon them. He gives Inana an ultimatum: serve him or he'll claim her bounty.
As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, the greatest risk is the desire growing between them. There's something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.
Tropes:
> Feisty storyteller FMC
> Monster hunter MMC
> Shadow daddy
> Found family
> Spicy Enemies to lovers romance
> Cruel vampire royals
