Description
Forget every villainous witch of lore. The world’s salvation rests in the hands of its most feared woman.
478 AD. The Western Roman Empire is crumbling into ash. As cosmic unrest grips the earth and the fierce Merovingian Franks carve a bloody path through a fractured Gaul, humanity’s last hope does not lie with an emperor or an army. It lies in an ancient prophecy—and a newborn child.
Born on the night of Samhain beneath a dark celestial eclipse, infant Merona is a harbinger of both terror and salvation. She is no ordinary child. Marked by a past life she cannot remember and bound by a love that spans millennia, her very existence is a ticking clock. Within her veins, flows a forbidden magic capable of reshaping reality itself.
But the darkness is already hunting her. Armaeus, a sinister sorcerer steeped in soul-devouring dark arts, is determined to extinguish her light before her magic can fully ignite. From the shadows, the Morrigan—the fearsome Goddess of war and fate—watches over Merona, a mythic protector standing between her and total annihilation.
Merona must survive the labyrinth’s maw, but the darkness isn't the enemy she needs to defeat. It is the version of herself she is slowly, inevitably becoming. For fans of dark mythology who want their magic to leave permanent, agonizing marks.
Step into the beginning of an epic, multi-award-winning dark historical fantasy saga that explores the rebirth of hope, the rekindling of compassion, and the light that pierces the deepest shadows. Perfect for fans of Ava Reid, Rachel Gillig, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
