Allison Saft

A gorgeously gothic, deeply romantic YA debut fantasy about two enemies trapped inside a crumbling mansion, with no escape from the monsters within. Honor your oath, destroy your country. Wren Southerland is the most talented healer in the Queen’s Guard, but her reckless actions have repeatedly put her on thin ice with her superiors. So when a letter arrives from a reclusive lord, asking Wren to come to his estate to cure his servant from a mysterious disease, she seizes the chance to prove herself. When she arrives at Colwick Hall, Wren realizes that nothing is what it seems. Particularly when she discovers her patient is actually Hal Cavendish, the sworn enemy of her kingdom. As the snowy mountains make it impossible to leave the estate, Wren and Hal grow closer as they uncover a sinister plot that could destroy everything they hold dear. But choosing love could doom both their kingdoms. Allison Saft’s Down Comes the Night is a snow-drenched, gothic, romantic fantasy that keeps you racing through the pages long into the night.

"I can't figure out what you want from me." He sounded almost anguished, but his eyes still held accusation. "I keep my distance, you needle me. If I'm vulnerable, you burn me. I let you in because you're the first person in years who isn't afraid of me who actually seemed to care more for me than my magic."

"This is what trusting you has earned me. And yet, after everything else I've done, I couldn't leave you to die. How can I be so pathetic?"

She'd known it for a while now. Hal Cavendish, who held her against him like he'd die if she slipped away, was no monster. She wanted to cling to this version of him–hers–and never let him go. 

"And what do you want?" she whispered. "I don't know." Hal closed his eyes. "If l could be selfish? Right now, all I want is this."
