Why we recommend it

Set in a great and terrible land, this is darker, atmospheric romance where the frontier is as merciless as the men who rule it. Expect a brooding, morally grey hero, a heroine with grit, and a slow burn that smolders through hardship and danger. For readers drawn to wild, harsh settings and love forged in violence, where wickedness lives in the heart of the land itself.
