City of Ruin A Dystopian Beauty and the Beast Retelling

Lindsey Pogue2022
No place on Earth is untouched by the Shift. City of Ruin will take you on an adventure beyond the rubble of the fallen city, into the windswept moors, and through the halls of fallen castles in this gothic, dystopian retelling of Jane Eyre and Beauty and the Beast. It’s been 75 years since the toxic fogs lifted, and those who took refuge underground the fallen city of London emerged from their tunnels to find the crumbled ruins of London. The Victorian era is over, and life above the rubble is hellish. Shrouded in mist and constant gray, New Londoners are anything but safe. Earthquakes still devastate the land, bandits and slavers roam the countrysides, and when one woman is purchased by the infamous Slave Collector, she will discover that nothing in their new world is quite as it seems. This is the first book in the Forgotten Lands sister series, Ruined Lands. All Forgotten Lands world books can be read as standalones and in any order. Perfect for fans of Eve Silver's Dark Gothic series.
