Playfully unique, delightfully steamy, utterly romantic, and overall unmissable! β€” Ali Hazelwood

From the author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy comes a new heartwarming fantasy rom-com with an opposites-attract twist set in the delightful world of Tanria.

Immortal demigod Rosie Fox has been patrolling Tanria for decades, but lately, the job has been losing its lustre. After one hundred and fifty-seven years of being alive, everything is beginning to lose its lustre. When Rosie dies (again) by electrocution (again) after poking around inside a portal choked with shadowy thorns only she can see, she feels stuck in the rut that is her unending life.

Thanks to Rosie's meddling, the portal inventor, Dr. Adam Lee, must come in person to repair the damage. When all the portals begin to break down, he declares an emergency evacuation of Tanria. In the mad rush to get out, Rosie and Adam end up trapped inside the Mist. Together.

And uptight Adam Lee in his bespoke menswear seems to know a lot more about what's happening than he lets on...

Praise for The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy:

Romantic, wildly creative, and utterly charming, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is a fantasy unlike any I've read before β€” Lana Harper, author of Payback's a Witch

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy broke my heart, put it back together, then tucked me into bed with a forehead kiss. Packed with earnest characters, wit, action, and reluctant yearning, this is easily my favourite fantasy romance of the year β€” Jen DeLuca, author of Well Met

A uniquely charming mixture of whimsy and the macabre that completely won me over β€” Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient

Megan Bannen remains the queen of swoons upon swoons upon swoons! The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is a playful, quirky gem-full of feels and guaranteed to deliver the perfect grumpy/sunshine fix! β€” Sierra Simone

An unabashedly offbeat adventure β€” Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light

A lovely, macabre fantasy romance about life, death, and Actually Living. I cried twice and smiled plenty β€” Olivia Atwater, author of Half a Soul

Megan Bannen broke me, made me laugh, then put me back together again... The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is one of those books you'll be thinking about long after you've read the last page β€” Manda Collins

Megan Bannen has found her voice with this incredibly smart, and hilariously weird debut. A must read β€” Nisha Sharma, author of Dating Dr. Dil
