In the Wake of the Ruined
In this dark and romantic sequel to In the Veins of the Drowning, Imogen must face the monster threatening her home, even if it means risking everything... including the king she's grown to love
'Lingers long after the last page' REBECCA ROSS, Sunday Times bestselling author of DIVINE RIVALS
THE DARK AND DELICIOUS CONCLUSION TO THE BOOKTOK SMASH HIT!
In the Wake of the Ruined introduces us to a kingdom in turmoil. Leucosia has gained a new queen... and a new monster.
King Nemea is dead by Imogen's own hand, leaving Eusia with one less devoted servantβbut the deity's strength has only grown. Now, she can access Imogen's power freely, and what's worse, Imogen's first taste of Eusia's grotesque magic has left her hungry for more.
Meanwhile, Theodore's wedding to Halla is imminent, and Imogen plans to steal his bride and use her to get to the blighted island where Eusia's body resides. But the journey proves more difficult and the waters more treacherous than she could have imagined, tempting Imogen to descend into her magic's darkness. As she fights to balance her feelings for the handsome king with her mission, and draws nearer to severing her bond with Eusia, Imogen realises that ending Eusia might cost her more than she had ever planned on giving.
