S. W. Clarke: A Curse of Storms and Scorn, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Beyond the walls of the last human kingdom, only the ruthless survive.

Acid rain has scoured the world for four hundred years, leaving humanity clinging to a single barren stronghold. Eurydice, a lowborn guard, devotes her life to protecting it... until she's captured by the monsters outside the walls.

Dragged into the autumn court of Feyreign, Eurydice finds herself in a realm where strength is survival and softness is prey. Even love there is a blade-beautiful, but made to cut.

When she's chosen for the court's deadly trials, Eurydice must fight for a title she never wanted--or die trying. Her assigned partner is Dorian: handsome, unreadable, and bound to the court by a vicious past. He's meant to keep her alive, yet Eurydice can't decide if he's her protector... or her executioner.

As politics sharpen and the autumn queen hungers for blood, Eurydice must play a dangerous game--one where the prize is a kingdom, and the cost is everything she thought she knew.

A Curse of Storms and Scorn is the first novel in a character-driven romantasy duet filled with deadly trials, courtly intrigue, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a fiercely competent heroine determined to survive on her own terms. Perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Throne of Glass, and The Bridge Kingdom.
