A standalone romantasy novella that should be read between THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT and THE ASHES AND THE STAR-CURSED KING, which focuses on Lilith, who turns to local vampire Vale in a desperate effort to save her town from a deadly curse.
THIS WAS SO GOOD. I love a little mid-series novella, but it’s rare to find one that is truly special, and this is one of those rare ones. I absolutely LOVED both Lilith and Vale and their relationship was so sweet and lovely. I loved Lilith more than Oraya from TSATWON (by a lot) and honestly could have read 300 more pages of these two. The story also felt more like a classic gothic vampire tale with some updating, and I was SO HERE for the vibes. Truly, there are not enough good things I can say about this one.
I can’t wait to get more of Lilith and Vale and the rest of this world in the next book!
