A captivating and darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas. From acclaimed Australian author Lyndall Clipstone comes a spellbinding, darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas. Everline Blackthorn has devoted her life to the wardens - warriors who guard against monsters known as the vespertine. When a series of strange omens occur, Everline disobeys orders to investigate and uncovers a startling truth in the form of Ravel Severin: a rogue vespertine who reveals the monsters have secrets of their own. Ravel promises the help she needs – for a price. Vespertine magic requires blood, but it’s a sin for a warden to feed a vespertine – let alone fall in love with one – and as Everline and Ravel travel farther across the moorland, she realises the question isn’t whether she will survive the journey, but if she will return unchanged.
