She has power over death. He has power over her. When two enemies strike a dangerous bargain, will they end a war . . . or ignite one?
"A thrilling tale of magic and murder, intrigue and betrayal."-Cassandra Clare, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sword Catcher
The gorgeous first edition hardcover of To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods will feature a poster, color endpapers, a custom-stamped case, and a foil jacket!
Heroes die, cowards live. Daughter of a conquered world, Ruying hates the invaders who descended from the heavens long before she was born and defeated the magic of her people with technologies unlike anything her world had ever seen.
Blessed by Death, born with the ability to pull the life right out of mortal bodies, Ruying shouldn't have to fear these foreign invaders, but she does. Especially because she wants to keep herself and her family safe.
When Ruying's Gift is discovered by an enemy prince, he offers her an impossible deal: If she becomes his private assassin and eliminates his political rivals-whose deaths he swears would be for the good of both their worlds and would protect her people from further brutalization-her family will never starve or suffer harm again. But to accept this bargain, she must use the powers she has always feared, powers that will shave years off her own existence.
Can Ruying trust this prince, whose promises of a better world make her heart ache and whose smiles make her pulse beat faster? Are the evils of this agreement really in the service of a much greater good? Or will she betray her entire nation by protecting those she loves the most?

[EDITING IN PROCESS.] In a kingdom wrapped in shadows and whispered secrets, where loyalty is sold for gold and love is considered a dangerous weakness, some hearts are born not to shine... but to endure. In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya Gupta was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls. But fate dragged her into the palace as a backup bride. A replacement, a shadow, a girl meant to be forgotten. Books became her only escape. Freedom, her only dream. Disguised as a maid, she walked through corridors never meant for her footsteps. And that was when he saw her. Rudra Vikrampuri, the crown prince. Twenty-one years old. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.

When enemies rise and conspiracies unfold, Will Rudra choose the crown...or the girl the palace tried to erase? Will Vidya survive loving a prince, who was never taught how to love? Will two hearts survive the shadows of the throne? Or will love itself become the greatest danger of all? ✦ Royalty ✦ Secrets ✦ Dark Romance ✦ Forbidden Love ✦ Slow Burn ✦ Hate to Love ✦ Betrayal ✦ Intrigue For hearts that dare to fall in love with darkness. 🌹 This story is for you.
