A gothic romantasy Beauty and the Beast retelling about a vampire prince and the captive bride who will do anything to break his curse – for fans of Naomi Novik, Heather Fawcett and Howl’s Moving Castle.

Clara Wagner has always known that monsters are real, and that the worst of them is Prince Raleigh of Rostenburg. For years the prince has treated his people as livestock to sate his thirst for blood. But when he decides it’s time to marry, Clara inadvertently finds herself at the centre of his attention.

Abducted and forced into a betrothal against her will, Clara would do anything to escape her fate. And so she is given an ultimatum: lift Raleigh’s vampiric curse before the end of the year or become his bride for eternity.

Vow of Eternal Night is a gothic, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy inspired by Beauty and the Beast about the lengths people will go for love, and the many faces monsters can wear.

'It’s rare that a gothic romance surprises me, but Vow of Eternal Night did. Fun, gripping, and desperately goth. One of the best I’ve read all year.' - T. Kingfisher

'Deliciously wicked, deeply romantic . . . this is a debut novel you simply cannot miss.' - C. S. Pacat

Praise for Vow of Eternal Night

It’s rare that a gothic romance surprises me, but Vow of Eternal Night did. I was turning pages until late into the night and woke up wondering if I could sneak in a few more pages before breakfast. Fun, gripping, and desperately goth. One of the best I’ve read all year. Uprooted meets Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

T. Kingfisher

Deliciously wicked, deeply romantic, and with a lush gothic atmosphere, Lily Crozier delivers an enrapturing fairytale. This is a debut novel you simply cannot miss.

C. S. Pacat

A deliciously undead twist on a classic fairytale. Vow of Eternal Night is a fang-tastic debut sure to thrill lovers of gothic romantasy.
