A revenge bargain puts two worlds at risk

In the second book of the Blood & Breath Duology, Evan’s attempt to retaliate against the Necro ruling class has consequences beyond the people she targets: devils are freed, and the barrier between their world and humanity grows weaker. With Rhys—who has spent centuries protecting that barrier—she must seek a way to restore it and end the system of sacrifices, while Jack’s plans threaten both. The premise links a personal bargain to larger questions of power, persecution, and the cost of resistance, setting its historical fantasy conflict across the boundary between human and devil worlds.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in young adult historical fantasy involving devils and supernatural bargains.
  • Readers drawn to stories about resistance to a persecuting ruling class and systems of sacrifice.
  • Readers who want a continuation in a two-book fantasy series.

Book overview

"We both know how this ends."
"One of use dies, the hunter becomes the game."

Evan Wilde has her revenge. Born into the persecuted Magi class and made the victim of a botched ritual sacrifice, Evan used the last of her blood and breath to call down the devil Jack to kill as many of the Necro ruling class as she can before Jack claims her life once he's fulfilled her deal. Yet unbeknownst to her, these killings have freed many devils from their Necro masters and weakened the veil separating the devils' world from humanity.

Now Evan must figure out how to save what she's nearly destroyed. But she's not the only one trying to keep the devils at bay. Rhys has spent the last three centuries preserving the veil to keep humanity safe. Knowing his old flame, Jack, is trying to break the veil so devils can rule over humanity once more, he betrays his love to help Evan.

With the help of their allies, Evan and Rhys must find a way to restore the veil between their worlds, end the system of sacrifices forever, and stop before he Jack before he can destroy them all.
