Overview

She is his ruination. He is her salvation. Destined for death, Rory Alarie's life has never been her own. As Adelphi's Sacrifice, every moment of every day is monitored by overbearing guards and a controlling family who will stop at nothing to ensure she remains obedient to the mortal kings. Except Rory harbors a secret--she doesn't want to die. Not for her family, not for her kingdom, and certainly not so supernatural creatures can be eradicated from Norica. Famed assassin Quill Godrickson doesn't kill innocents. Yet when the vampire supreme threatens to kill all those he holds dear if he refuses, he accepts what's supposed to be his easiest assignment yet--eliminate Adelphi's Sacrifice before the mortal kings gain more power. However, when Quill arrives in Adelphi, he doesn't expect to find himself irresistibly drawn to the one he's meant to assassinate. As Rory and Quill are caught between duty, desire, and death, it is Rory who must choose her final path: reluctantly die as Adelphi's Sacrifice or allow Quill to turn her into one of the creatures she was raised to hate.

Author Information

Lara Buckheit is the author of A Realm of Ash and Shadow and Our Immortal Hearts. She holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Wilmington University, is a 2021 WriteMentor Mentee, an avid writer (and reader) of spice, and one time she met Taylor Swift's dad. She started writing at a very young age, mostly fanfiction centered around women with swords and men with devilish grins. And she hasn't stopped since. When not writing, Lara can be found drinking tea and reading from her endless TBR pile. Lara currently lives in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with her husband, dog, and thirteen houseplants named after fictional characters. Stefanie Kay is an Audie Award-nominated narrator with a background in musical theater. She began narrating audiobooks in 2018. It is such an incredible honor every time an author entrusts her with their stories, and she makes sure that each one is told with truth, emotion, and warmth. She loves stories that make you laugh, make you cry, make you feel something! Austin Rising hails from Albuquerque, New Mexico-where he began acting at the age of four. After high school, he decided to take his passion to the University of Denver, where he studied theater.

In front of the camera, Austin can be seen in Better Call Saul, The Night Shift, In Plain Sight, New York Prison Break: The Seduction of Joyce Mitchell, Longmire, Hostiles, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Behind the microphone, Austin has been narrating since 2015, amassing many critically acclaimed titles under his belt, such as the Last War series by Peter Bostrom, the Overworld Chronicles by John Corwin, and Models by Mark Manson. Being a gifted mimic since a very young age, Austin loves to perform young adult, science fiction, fantasy, and LitRPG titles which lend themselves to dynamic characterizations.
