Readers of Sarah J. Maas and Carissa Broadbent will love this dark romantasy where women are hunted as brides. For fans of morally grey heroes and dark romance.
I lived a quiet life as a temple maiden, my days defined by duty and subservience.
Until the Trickster God shattered my world.
He ripped me from my temple of healing and sacred vows, casting me into his twisted Labyrinth where women are hunted like prey.
The rules are simple; run and hide, or be claimed—a brutal choice between forced marriage and eternal torment.
These hunters see me as nothing more than a rose ripe for the plucking.
Then he finds me.
Rooke.
A charming rogue with a wicked smile who promises protection and asks for nothing in return. It's a dangerous offer from a man who moves through the shadows with deadly grace, yet touches me with unexpected kindness.
My instincts scream danger. I should fear him. I should run. But his touch has become a spark in the darkness, his kiss, a taste of rebellion.
Do I dare trust him? Or must I finally learn to trust myself?
It seems even the gentlest rose can have thorns.
