The first book in a stunning new dark fantasy romance series from TheNew York Times bestselling author of Den of Vipers. **This DELUXE EDITION features gorgeous sprayed edges*:

Never trust. Never yield. And never, ever let them see what you truly are.

My name is Dessandra, but here I am only prisoner 715. A hybrid: born of both the magic-blessed Versi and the greedy, scorned Severed who wish to tear their power away. It makes me the enemy on both sides of the great wall.

When they caught me, they should have killed me. Instead, they sent me to Hellbound―an elite unit of soldiers who would gladly kill me themselves―and ordered me to fight alongside them in their pointless war.

Then came 688. The most feared prisoner in the land. Brutal, beautiful, built like the God of Death himself. Cruel one moment, darkly possessive the next―and the only one who has ever seen the real me and refused to look away.

But desire is a blade that cuts both ways, and every touch binds our fates closer together. When he is marked for death, I have no choice. I have to save him, even if it costs me everything I have left.

This is the first book in an epic enemies-to-lovers dark fantasy romance series. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Direbound and Liv Zander
