The Lies That Summon the Night: An irresistible new dark romantasy of sin, shadows and forbidden love


Overview

Nevernight meets Filthy Rich Vampire in this irresistible dark romantasy set in a world where creativity and art are forbidden, and humanity's sins are monsters given flesh, from the author of Curse of the Wolf King. Perfect for fans of Geneva Lee, Raven Kennedy and Carissa Broadbent. *AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW* 'A DARKLY SEDUCTIVE THRILL RIDE' Nisha J. Tuli, USA Today bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen The darkest sins taste the sweetest... Ever since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows, creative works have been forbidden. The talented are sacrificed to the Sinless - the immortal royals who feast on human blood. Inana's secret storytelling nearly got her killed once, and she'll be damned if she's ever caught again. With a bounty on her head, she keeps to the city's dark underbelly where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction. Until a Shadowbane catches one of her performances... Dominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But the murderous shades he tracks aren't the only creatures with bloodlust; Shadowbanes must consume blood to survive. And to complete his hunt, he needs an artist to summon the shadows. Inana is just what he needs. Dominic delivers an ultimatum: serve him or he'll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left, the choice is clear. At least until she can betray him and leave him for dead... As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, dark secrets unravel - about each other, their world, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There's something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.

Move over shadow daddies - there's now a Shadow Zaddy in town, and you will want to let him taste your sins * Hazel McBride, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Fate Forged in Fire * Tessonja Odette delivers a dark and atmospheric masterclass in romantasy with The Lies That Summon the Night. I was so immersed in the world she created, where art manifests as dangerous creatures and creativity is a sin. Both timely and timeless, the storytelling surrounding religion and oppression in this book sank its claws (literally!) deep and didn't let go. This is some of the most intricate worldbuilding I've read. You'll find nothing tired or overdone here, just lyrical prose, scorching spice, and an insatiable need to find out what comes next for these characters. * Amy Pennza, author of Dhampira *


The Lies that Summon the Night is a darkly seductive thrill ride that will take you through shadowy corners where all your secrets lie. Tessonja Odette has crafted a gorgeous, fast-paced tale of revenge and heartbreak while giving us a spicy, swoony romance that is sure to have you lusting until the very last page. * Nisha J.
