A sweeping, romantic cottagecore reimagining of Hades and Persephone
for fans of Laini Taylor and Scarlett St. Clair!
For years, Lila Rose Li pushed herself to become the ballerina her
parents would approve of. But after falling on stage, her parents
reproach her, and she snaps. Sent away for losing her temper, Lila
arrives at her aunt's cottage on Luna Island with dashed dreams, though
she's buoyed by the island's idyllic charm. Perhaps here among the
cobblestone streets, ivy-covered boutiques, and whispered stories of
angels, she can finally curb the tempest inside that's made her unworthy
of love?
Damien Drake's father always said he's too soft to carry on the family
tradition. As Angel of the Night, it's his duty to crown the winner of
Luna Island's Angel of the Sea pageant--a title which marks the winner
as an offering to the Devil and prevents the natural disasters born from
his heartache. During the last pageant, Damien brought shame upon his
family for trying to rescue his first love from sacrifice. This time,
he's determined to fulfill his duty with utmost obedience and earn back
their trust.
When Damien spots Lila on a yacht at sea, he knows he's found the
Devil's perfect match. Her anger is powerful, and when she dances,
flowers spring from her step. What he doesn't expect is to find someone
whose trauma reflects his own, who understands what it's like to
disappointment one's family, and whose power may actually be enough to
appease the Devil once and for all.
