To the Rotting End

Hidden pasts, a fae realm on the brink of destruction, and passions born of hatred converge in blockbuster author Sophia St. Germain's brand-new, dark dystopian, fated-mates, enemies-to-lovers romantasy series for readers of Carissa Broadbent, Alex Aster, and Danielle L. Jensen. He wants her head. She'll settle for his soul. Once Jordeina was a beautiful island, and Azaleah Oakgards its crown princess. Since the coup and her family's murders, she's a fugitive cursed to bring disaster in her wake. Firestorms rage, plants wither, rivers run dry, and only her death can stop the world from burning until nothing but ash remains. Without a soul to anchor her, Azaleah has clawed her way to survival for centuries, and now, finally, she can reclaim it before the end of the world leaves her locked in a prison between realms. She'll change her face, shift her scent, and trick the usurper king into claiming her as his mate. At his side, Azaleah will not only break his soul but his spirit, unmaking the Ruin King until only the hollow husk of a man remains. Marlow Swarzwolds is a tyrant, a killer, and a brute, but no fool. He knows his entrancing mate's compliments and obedience are lies. Only when he baits her does she show the ruthlessness that ignites him. But what she's hiding-and why-is just one more answer he can't afford to chase as Jordeina collapses and the soul he's tied to their dying lands perishes with it. How do you break the soul of a man who's seen everything? Can Azaleah find a way to hide that her own is missing? And what happens when the collision of two royals burns hotter than the scorching world they're trying to survive in?
