"Riveting, passionate, and full of high stakes danger." - Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa’s gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner’s magic, not kill every suitor she touches. Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island’s only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her. Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante’s dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?

This Vicious Grace

Minnie Mazuera

."Keep your gods and goddesses on their pedestals if you want, but the rituals, the rules, the isolation? You know that isn't really from them, right? Thať's written by mortals. Men, mostly. We have a bad habit of locking up people who scare us, and the thing that scares men with power most is a woman with more of it"

"Crashing a social event uninvited is worse than a battle to the death."
