Aprašymas

"Hades and Persephone" meets Daughter of Smoke and Bone in a sweeping, romantic cottagecore paranormal YA from debut author Kiana Krystle.

Lila Rose Li's mother always called her an ocean of a girl. For years, she pushed herself to become the ballerina her parents would approve of. But when she collapses on stage and her parents reproach her, she snaps. Sent away for losing her temper, Lila arrives at her aunt's cottage on Luna Island with dashed dreams, but she's quickly buoyed by the island's charm. Perhaps here among the cobblestone streets, ivy-covered boutiques, and whispered myths of angels, she can finally curb the tempest inside her that's made unworthy of love?

Damien Drake's father always said he was too soft to carry on the family tradition. As Angel of the Night, it's his duty to select a new bride for the Devil every seven years--a sacrifice which guarantees life on Luna Island will continue to thrive. During the last Tithe, Damien brought shame upon the family for trying to rescue his first love from sacrifice. This time, he's determined to fulfill his duty with utmost obedience and earn back his family's trust.

When Damien spots Lila on a yacht at sea, he knows he's found the Devil's perfect match. Her anger is powerful, and when she dances, flowers spring from her step. What he doesn't expect is to find someone whose trauma reflects his own, who understands what it's like to be a disappointment to one's family, and whose power may actually be enough to end the Tithe once and for all.
