The Queen of Monsters

Three hundred years ago, the Earth split and the sky trembled. And then the monsters came.

The island of Lowynn is cursed. The Veil between worlds has torn, and now, monsters come with vengeance. They can only be placated by the blood of sorcerers. To be born draodih is a death sentence-- for they are the curse.

Ciara Byrne is the daughter of the King's greatest witch hunter. She has lived her whole life in luxury bought with spilled blood, until a terrible secret turns her into the most wanted woman in Lowynn.

Timid and naïve, Ciara finds herself wholly unprepared, the most important pawn in a complicated world of politics and war. As family loyalties twist and alliances change, her mere survival brings with it civil war. Epic battles, fearsome beasts, and ancient secrets threaten her at every turn. She will split the world.

The Skaara has long been part of a dying people-- after centuries, he is one of the last draodih left. Until her.
Blessed with a rare kind of power, the Skaara has the ability to hunt down the last traces of magic in the world. Enslaved to the King since childhood, his duty has always been to hunt.
Killing Ciara is his newest mission, and one that his life depends upon.
It is a painful life, forged in blood and steel. But, violent as it may be, it is all he has ever known.
Until her.
