A dangerous bargain in postwar New York

Thirteen years after monsters brought New York City to ruin, a treaty holds a fragile truce between humans and the creatures that emerged from the shadows. Kierse, a skilled thief, breaks that agreement when she enters the Holly Library and encounters a monster who offers her a bargain: her freedom in exchange for her talents. Their partnership places both futures at risk, while the creature’s centuries-spanning game gives the story a wider reach than its immediate deal. The opening volume of the Oak & Holly Cycle, this romantasy combines a post-monster-war city, supernatural conflict, and an enemies-to-lovers premise; the series is intended to be read in order.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in fantasy romance and enemies-to-lovers stories.
  • Readers who enjoy supernatural settings shaped by conflict between humans and monsters.
  • Those seeking the first installment of a planned five-book romantasy series.

The instant New York Times bestseller

Can you love the dark when you know what it hides?

Some things aren't supposed to exist outside of our imagination.

Thirteen years ago, monsters emerged from the shadows and plunged Kierse's world into a cataclysmic war of near-total destruction. The New York City she knew so well collapsed practically overnight.

In the wake of that carnage, the Monster Treaty was created. A truce...of sorts.

But tonight, Kierse--a gifted and fearless thief--will break that treaty. She'll enter the Holly Library...not knowing it's the home of a monster.

He's charming. Quietly alluring. Terrifying. But he knows talent when he sees it; it's just a matter of finding her price.

Now she's locked into a dangerous bargain with a creature unlike any other. She'll sacrifice her freedom. She'll offer her skills. Together, they'll put their own futures at risk.

But he's been playing a game across centuries--and once she joins in, there will be
no escape...

The Oak & Holly Cycle is an epic five-book romantasy saga best experienced in order.
