In the absence of a conscience, men need something to fear. I’ve made myself their monster.

But Harlow has a secret. When she’s not acting as an assassin at her parents’ whims, she moonlights as a vigilante hunting abusive men in their walled-off city.
Meet a man. Lure him in. Kill him with a kiss. Until one night Harlow kisses a mark and he doesn’t die.
Worse, the man immune to her kiss is her new betrothed, Henry Havenwood, and now he knows about her double life. The only way to protect her secret and her city is get close enough to Henry to figure out why the Havenwoods have reappeared after years of silence and what they have planned.

About the author
The Poison Daughter is Sheila Masterson’s seventh novel and her first #1 New York Times bestseller. Her other works include the gothic fairy tale romantasy Song of the Dark Wood and the angsty epic romantasy quartet The Lost God series, as well as its next-generation standalone spinoff, A Legacy of Stars. When Sheila’s not busy stabbing beloved side characters and dreaming up new ways to make her readers cry, you can find her browsing the shelves at local indie bookstores, drinking fancy cocktails with friends, or curled up reading books and tarot. She lives outside Philadelphia with a small army of underwatered houseplants that survive out of spite.
