Description
**UNCORRECTED ADVANCE PROOF**
THE EPIC AND SIZZLING ROMANTASY. SOON TO BE YOUR NEXT OBSESSION . . .
A brutal war between demons and humanity has raged across Europe for over a century. At its heart are two elite soldiers: Selene Alleva, a powerful exorcists trained at the prestigious Vatican Academy, and foot soldier, Jules Lacroix, unrivalled in battle.
When their paths cross, despite initial distrust - then unwelcome attraction - Jules and Selene discover a terrible secret at the heart of the holy Vatican City . . .
Soon Jules is forced to question everything he's ever known - including himself. And Selene, unable to ignore her growing feelings for Jules, must make an impossible choice between love and duty.
Serpent and Dove meets Empire of the Vampire, with a star-crossed, enemies-to-lovers romance at its heart.
Perfect for fans of Powerless, Fourth Wing and Divine Rivals.
'Set in a world as resplendent as it is brutal, with a taut, searing romance thrumming with can't-catch-your-breath tension. Cruel is the Light is a masterclass in romantasy and a thoroughly scorching debut.' - Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN

Thankyou Penguin Random House Australia for the approval.
"Serpent & Dove" vibes, and oh so thrilling. The suspense and danger had me on the edge of my seat! Coupled with a budding romance that neither MC wants to submit to, this is a novel I couldn't put down.
Based in Rome and more specifically, The Vatican, this novel is a rewrite on modern Christianity with a demon/assassin twist. Oh, and a romance to die for!
Classic enemies to lovers that has the tension of a bridge cable, the plot along with the romance sub plot is a perfect mix. This is a fantasy first- more urban fantasy- romance second novel that is YA suitable for ages 16yrs and up (my own opinion).
Characters being played against each other, leaders covering up the trust (and execution for stepping out of line) - our main characters find themselves in a deadly game with even deadlier people, and both have secrets of their own.
Perfect for fans of "Frostblood", "Empire of the Vampie" and "The Dagger & the Flame".
4.5 stars 🌟
