The much requested novella that follows up with Toby and Mercuree's love story started in the Defy The Stars Trilogy. (Note - this is a m/m romance) This is not a story of star-crossed lovers; this is a story of love that shines bright through the darkness and commands the shadows to still. Tobias of Vernanthia has been courting darkness since he was a child. A witch born with no apparent magic, in a world where magic means power, he was captured and abused by the queen of the rival coven. He thought he’d buried the darkness deep inside him, finally finding love with the man he had known since they were boys, but now the trauma of his past threatens to cast shadows on any chance of happiness. Mercuree of Vernanthia has always embraced the darkness, the King’s assassin who can bend the shadows to his will. He had made peace with who he was, and never considered that the boy he had loved in secret for years could reciprocate those feelings, not when Toby was so ashamed and scared to admit who he really was. The Country is veering towards being united once more and yet, Toby pulls further and further away from him leaving Mercy unable to do more than hold on to the spark of hope. In that sliver of hope the past tensions between the covens threatens to be the end of not only their tremendous love story, but also their lives.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum comes the second book in a creepy fantasy series that Publishers Weekly praised as “darkly delightful.” Perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. After the frightful events of last autumn, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, a place of distortions and lies, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity. As Louisa struggles to figure out whether she is worthy of redemption, the devilish Mr. Morningside plans a fete—one that will bring new guests to Coldthistle House. From wicked humans to Upworlders, angelic beings who look down on Mr. Morningside’s monstrous staff, all are armed with their own brand of self-righteous justice. Even a man claiming to be Louisa’s father has a role to play, though what his true motive is, Louisa cannot tell. The conflicts will eventually come to a head on the grounds of Coldthistle House—and the stakes include Louisa’s very soul. In this second book of Madeleine Roux’s suspenseful House of Furies series, illustrations from artist Iris Compiet and chilling photographs help bring to life a twisted world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin. “Takes the reader on a twisting path down a dark hall we’re compelled to travel, no matter what is behind the door at the end. Darkly captivating.” —Mindy McGinnis, Edgar Award-winning author of A Madness So Discreet, on House of Furies
