About this ebook

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BUT READING BRINGS DEATH.

PRE-ORDER the first in a brand new enemies-to-lovers dystopian romantasy duology from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Broken Souls and Bones and The Ever Seas series.

🖤 Perfect for fans of Silver Elite and Fourth Wing 🖤

Long ago, the ability to transform blood into creations evolved in only some people, and the deadly knowledge was recorded in books. Now, those who have the biggest libraries, hold all the power . . .

Darcy Whitlock is a damn good thief. To keep food on the table, she swindles and sells illegal books from the Evolved who hoard knowledge for status.

During a risky book grab, Darcy is caught by the government’s cruellest enforcer: Tyran Blackwell. Everyone knows Blackwell has the ability to turn blood into monstrous bloodhounds and he takes pleasure in doing so.

When Darcy narrowly escapes, she thinks she got lucky, until an ambush kills her best friend. Darcy's rage inspires her to target the Evolved, and Tyran is more than happy to be her mark.

But their game of cat and mouse unknowingly reveals deeper secrets that neither Tyran nor Darcy anticipated, and the only way to survive just might be to become allies.

Because if the Evolved ever learn Darcy hides a darker version of the blood evolution, they'll destroy everyone she loves
