Some vows are written in blood. Ours were carved from ruin.
I’ve never refused a kill. Not for mercy, not for guilt. When the Queen of the Stygian Darkness offers the only reward that still matters—my sister’s freedom—I take the contract on Stone, heir to the Shadow Court. A clean kill, a simple vow. Until the moment I line up the perfect shot… and something inside me fractures for the first time in centuries.
Because Stone isn’t the monster I was promised. He’s deadly, yes, but protective in a way that shakes my certainty, perceptive enough to sense me in the shadows, and far gentler with the broken than I will ever be. Every time his gaze finds me, it feels like he’s seeing the pieces I’ve spent a lifetime burying… and I’m terrified of what he’ll find if he looks any deeper.
Now our paths are tangled in a way no vow ever prepared me for. He should fear my blade, and I should fear the way he sees me—but the true tragedy is the pull between us, dark and impossible, the tension of a bone about to break.
And when the bone finally breaks, I don’t know whose heart will go with it.
A Serpent in the Embers is a heart-wrenching standalone in the Iron Kingdom dark fae romantasy series. If you like fated mates, tragic romance, and morally grey heroines, you’ll love Thea Atkinson’s gutting read.
Open the cover and see what destiny has in store.
