The Wolf and the Crown of Blood (Exclusive OwlCrate Edition)
Details
The Wolf and the Crown of Blood is a dark and seductive romantasy about a princess and a war-weary god meeting in the ashes of a broken city, and forging a pact in blood and sacrifice.
Bryony Devaliant was born to die—again and again. In Vartena, royal blood is the currency of peace, with every monarch sacrificed and resurrected to appease the gods. But when rebellion stirs, the god-king sends his deadliest weapon to restore order: an immortal assassin known only as the Wolf.
Evander has perfected the art of killing over centuries—until his latest target becomes the one person he cannot destroy. When forbidden desire burns between the assassin and the sacrificial princess, their connection threatens the fragile boundary between gods and mortals. And when that boundary shatters, empires crumble. Because when gods fall in love with mortals, mortals are always the ones to break.
