Praise for The Verran Isles:

“An incredibly impressive debut… brutally violent, sizzling with tension, and utterly addictive. This is how you do romantasy!” — Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author

A dark alliance. A forbidden power. And a bond that could change the fate of the Isles forever.

Welcome to a kingdom built on secrets, betrayal, and no mercy.

Ivy Pomeroy should be untouchable. Gifted with the rare magic of illusion, she can deceive kings and monsters alike—yet she is shackled by the enchanted collar that binds her to a ruthless ruler. Forced to serve as his lethal assassin, Ivy hides a single burning goal: destroy the king and reclaim her freedom.

But when a dangerously captivating Reaper from Death’s Isle arrives searching for the same legendary weapon Ivy needs, their worlds collide in a reluctant, tension-charged alliance. What begins as a fragile partnership unravels into a web of dark magic, forbidden attraction, and deadly secrets.

As whispers of a rising power threaten the entire kingdom, Ivy must decide who to trust—and how far she’s willing to go to break her chains. Because though she wears a collar, she is no one’s pet.

She is the beast they foolishly invited in.
And she will show no mercy.
