Unholy Terrors

A bloodstained tale of a girl torn between her vows and her heart, where falling in love may be the deepest sin of all. A captivating and darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas.

From acclaimed Australian author Lyndall Clipstone comes a spellbinding, darkly romantic YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lynette Noni and Sarah J. Maas.

Everline Blackthorn has devoted her life to the wardens—warriors who guard against monsters known as the vespertine. When a series of strange omens occur, Everline disobeys orders to investigate and uncovers a startling truth in the form of Ravel Severin—a rogue vespertine who reveals the monsters have secrets of their own.

Ravel promises the help she needs—for a price. Vespertine magic requires blood, but it's a sin for a warden to feed a vespertine—let alone fall in love with one—and as Everline and Ravel travel farther across the moorland, she realises the question isn't whether she will survive the journey, but if she will return unchanged.

Lyndall Clipstone has woven a dark dream that ensnares all five senses. Fanged yet delicate, with its windswept moors, blood moons, and aching romance, Unholy Terrors is utterly spellbinding - Rachel Gillig, author of The Shepherd King duology

A whirlwind journey, filled with heart-wrenching tension and sinister twists. This is the kind of dark romance you thirst for! - Alexandra Christo, internationally bestselling author of To Kill A Kingdom

A beautifully rendered, twistingly gothic tale of love, loss, longing and sacrifice. Utterly gripping, from the first page to the last. - Vanessa Len, author of Only a Monster

Prose that reads like a hypnotic incantation. - Kirkus
