He Is Her Ruin. She Is His Rebellion.

The first thing you'll learn in New Found Haven is mercy no longer exists. Showing mercy is a weakness, and weakness will get you killed.

The second thing is this-the Veyra are always watching. From the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slum dens of the Boundary, no movement goes unseen.

The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it.

Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.

The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.

Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.

Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he's the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he's entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he's forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the governments brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride who is as lethal as she is unwilling.

Shadera is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.

Their union is no love story-It's a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating one another or burning the city to the ground together.

In a world where passion sparks rebellion and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.

DAGGERMOUTH is a dark dystopian romance perfect for readers who love true enemies to lovers, The Hunger Games, marriage of inconvenience, The Handmaid's Tale, rise of the oppressed, and political intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Jamie’s review

HOOLLLLYYYYYY SHIIIIITTTTTT 🤯 I am still reeling from reading Daggermouth. My heart was beating out of my chest for the last 10% of that book and I cannot stop thinking about EVERYTHING that happened.

THIS is how you write dystopian. Wow. WOW. Almost too dark for me, almost. I was appalled. I was horrified. I was desperate for change. I have never loved and hated characters more.

Greyson and Shadera's stories are INTENSE. This is not your typical love story. All the characters! I am blown away by the depth of so many characters in a single book!

The twists are GOOOOD. I was caught completely unawares SEVERAL times. I am so impressed! I need book 2 immediately!

Erica’s review

DAYUMMMMMM! All I could think when I finished book 1 was: holy shit. I was literally sweating reading the last 10%. Heart racing, EVERY emotion….what a wild fucking ride. I actually was really sucked into the entire book and was highly entertained but THAT ENDING was insane. Comparable for me to a Metal Slinger type ending with so many shocking twists and crazy moments. I truly did not see some of those twists coming. Mouth agape…true shooketh.

It looks like we might have to wait until March 2027 for book 2 of this duology (originally set for 11/26'), and I will be DYING until then. Like, wow. Dystopian, Handmaid's Tales…ish vibes, amazing hidden identities, true enemies to lovers, slow burn, multi POV - it has some great tropes but it's a dark gal so check your trigger warnings. And, if you're like me and hate men like 99% of the time - this will DEF fuel your rage there, so beware. :/ When people say the ending gutted them….I get it.
