'GRAB THOSE HORNS IN BOTH HANDS AND GET READY FOR A WILD RIDE' Delilah Dawson on Exquisite Ruin

Desire is a dangerous game . . .

Against the odds, Sadaré and Daesra escaped the labyrinth, but their struggles are only just beginning. When the god of death surfaces in the living world to claim Daesra, Sadaré offers herself in his place and is willingly led into the underworld — and temptation.

With every passing day, Sadaré grows closer to her captor. But as she's drawn deeper into his world, the memories of her past — of Daesra — begin to slip away. And the closer Daesra comes to saving her, the less she remembers wanting to be saved.

If Daesra can reach her in time, will she still know him and all they have endured? Or will their love be the next piece of her to die?

About the Author

AdriAnne May was a bibliophile who wanted to be an author before she knew what either of those words meant. She splits her time between Alaska and Spain with her spouse, her pugs, and her piles of books. She loves dancing, tattoos, and writing stories about sympathetic monsters. Exquisite Ruin is her debut adult novel, and she is currently working on its sequel, Divine Descent.
