Break me like your promises…

Katerina Ivanova was never meant to love her Shadow.

As Iriska’s most powerful Dimi, her command of the four elements makes her a weapon of the Saints, sworn to guard the realm’s portals and keep the demons of the Underworld at bay. Bound by blood and ancient magic, she and Niko were forged to fight as one, not to feel the forbidden pull that blurs every line between duty and desire.

When the two compete to join Iriska’s most elite force, that fragile secret becomes their greatest danger. Love between a Dimi and her Shadow isn’t just a bad idea, it’s been prophesied to set an ancient Darkness loose upon the world. But some forces are too powerful to resist, and one night Niko and Katerina surrender to the undeniable attraction between them, with devastating results. As they struggle to save Iriska from the forces they’ve unleashed, the last person they expect will risk anything to tear them apart—even make a deal with the Devil.

Rich with Slavic myth and elemental magic, this romantasy is for readers who crave slow-burning passion, morally grey choices, and love stronger than fate.
