Description
Read this sensational young adult fantasy, the first in a new series by British author Karen Tomlinson.
Magic awakens. Darkness stirs. The Wraith Lord is hunting.
The war raging in the South seems a remote danger for seventeen-year-old Diamond Gillon until her home is brutally attacked by the Wraith Lord’s monstrous hunters. Catapulted into a terrifying new world where legendary beasts arise, magic is condemned, and half-blood fae like her have no rights, Diamond is inexplicably drawn to her saviour. But Commander Hugo Casimir is a ruthless elite guard owned by a cruel, immortal fae queen who will murder her own people for magic.
As she sinks deeper into Hugo’s world, Diamond’s circumstances become ever more perilous, for the Queen desires her magic and covets the very same prize as the Wraith Lord. To discover who she truly is, Diamond must escape the Queen’s clutches—before her fate, and that of The Eight Kingdoms, is sealed in shadow and chaos.
Will Hugo prove to be her friend, her protector, or an enemy not worthy of her trust?
A Bond of Venom and Magic is an epic fantasy tale, ideal for mature Young Adult readers. Fans of Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo will love to discover this spectacular new world steeped in dragons, monsters, and armoured winged warriors.

The wraith Lord hunts...
The war in the south is far from Diamond's mind until her home town is attacked by the wraith lords hunter. In the new world, where magic is condemned and the half blood fae like her have no rights, she is drawn to her savior. But Commander Casimir is a ruthless elite guard owned by a ruthless fae queen.
As Diamond sinks further into Hugo Casimirs world, things become precarious as the queen desires her magic. To discover who she is she must escape.
Will Hugo prove to be friend or foe?
Don't expect this to be your typical fantasy novel where things aren't raw and gritty. There are so many different paranormal and fantasy creatures I was totally fangirling the whole time about how awesome this book is! It is a breath of fresh air in the fantasy world where it seems the same old stories are being remade (yes I am guilty of enjoying those books).
The author creates a beautiful and intriguing world. I absolutely cannot wait to see all the fan art that is based on this book!

This was a wonderful read! I was captivated from the beginning. I wasn’t sure what to think before I started reading. I immediately fell in love with Diamond and Hugo. There was so much action and adventure. I would definitely recommend this book to all fantasy lovers!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
