The sequel to HUMAN SPINES, a 2016 Wattys winner! It's been seven months since the Opaque struck the desert and ravaged the Demon's caverns. Seven months since the Reaper-Mother gave up. Seven month since Dumaine last spoke to Emmeline. Seven months since Hans died. Huddled in a house perched on the crest of a mountain so remote only Demon's come to visit, Dumaine has come to learn a simple lifestyle. Expect nothing (except the daily drop ins from rampaging gangs of bloodthirsty Translucent), and accept everything (especially the learning opportunities provided by the aforementioned Translucent's resulting corpses). But while time seems to have frozen for Dumaine as he waits for Emmeline, it lurks forward beyond their snowy alps, creeping toward the shadow of the Opaque's threats until one evening they find five human strangers hidden in their home. And one of them is dead.

[ROUGH DRAFT] In the land of gods and monsters, humanity ravaged Malcea with endless wars. Their insatiable hunger for treasure, pleasure, and power led them to forsake the gods who had once guided them. For thousands of years, the gods remained silent, watching with grief and fury as their creations spiraled into chaos. But when humans stood on the brink of war with the ancient dragons, the gods finally chose to intervene. Their return, however, was far from merciful-for the Gods of Malcea had darker, more sinister designs for their wayward children. Karos, a soldier of Asalph, is one such pawn in their game. Trained to hunt dragons, his beliefs are shaken when he forms an unexpected bond with Ake, a dragon desperate to return home. As Karos questions the gods' motives, he must decide whether to uphold the laws of his homeland or fight for a future shaped by his own choices-and the fragile, growing bond with Ake who challenges everything he thought he knew. _______________________ @Haylee for this gorgeous cover!

[SAMPLE] In a world ravaged by holy war, Ari clings to one truth: mouths lie, but blood does not. Haunted by the past and desperate for answers, he turns to Auovin-a demon whose secrets could unravel everything he believes. What follows is a journey of uneasy revelations and slow-burning desire, where love tangles with betrayal, and redemption is never free of damnation. Guided-and tormented-by Auovin, Ari must confront not only the hidden truths of the war but the shifting foundations of his own morality. Daevas: Volume One begins an emotionally charged saga spanning three volumes. It is a story of truth's cost, the pull of self-discovery, and the peril of being seen in a broken world. For readers of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, Daevas is a queer dark fantasy novel where love, monstrosity, and identity intertwine in devastating ways.
