In a world of magical artifacts and fantastical beings, a woman determined to save her family joins forces with an unlikely partner, in this steamy romantasy by USA Today bestselling author Ruby Dixon.
As a Holder’s daughter, Aspeth Honori knows the importance of magical artifacts . . . which is why it’s a disaster that her father has gambled all theirs away. Now that her family is in danger of losing their hold—and their heads—if anyone finds out the truth, Aspeth decides to do something about it. She’ll join the Royal Artifactual Guild and the adventurers who explore ancient underground ruins to retrieve the coveted arcane items.
It’s a great plan—with one big problem. The guild won’t let her train because she’s a woman. Aspeth needs a chaperone of some kind. The best way to get around this problem? Marry someone who will let her become an apprentice. Who better than a surly guild member who requires a favor of his own? He’s a minotaur (it’s fine) who is her teacher (also fine) . . . and he’s about to go into rut (which is where it gets tricky). He also has no idea she’s a noble (oops), and he’ll want nothing to do with her if he discovers her real identity.
Now Aspeth just has to pass the guild tests, thwart a fortune hunter, and save her hold—oh, and survive a rut with her monstrous, horned husband, whom she might be falling in love with.
It’s time to dig deep. Literally.
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Praise for this book
"Ruby Dixon can do it all: she builds a stunning world, creates compelling, lovable characters, and then hits me with the minotaur smut I always knew I wanted. I came for the monster sex, but what really drew me in is a beautifully poignant story of found family, in which two outcasts team up to take on a broken system and fall in love in the process. (I mean, the monster smut drew me in, too...) This better be the first in a whole series, because I am OBSESSED with everyone. Bull Moon Rising is simply glorious, and Ruby Dixon and The Sacred Knot have my whole heart!" - Ali Hazelwood
