Ruin: The Infernis Duology, Book 1

For 245 years, Oralia Solis has been untouchable — not by choice, but by curse. One brush of her skin reduces any living thing to ash, and so the princess of Aethera has been locked away by her adopted father, King Typhon, a beautiful secret kept for the kingdom's protection. Her own.

When her power slips free with devastating consequences, Oralia flees — and finds herself at the mercy of the last person she should trust. King Renwick of Infernis, ruler of the land of the dead and Aethera's greatest enemy, doesn't flinch at the destruction she carries. He sees something else entirely: potential. A weapon worth keeping close.

Oralia expects a dungeon. What she gets is a gilded captivity and a king who looks at her like she's something other than a catastrophe waiting to happen. Renwick expects a desperate fugitive, easy to manipulate. What he finds is a woman with centuries of fury burning beneath her skin — and the unsettling realization that he's the only person alive who can touch her without consequence.

In this lush, action-packed romantasy, two rulers from opposing worlds circle each other with equal parts suspicion and longing. Secrets run deeper than either of them knows, and the pull between them grows more dangerous by the day.

Some weapons, it turns out, cut both ways. And some enemies are far more tempting than they have any right to be.
