Anathema
ByPublisher Description
A new gothic dark fantasy coming in 2024
Only the banished know what lies beyond the woods ...
There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to d!e. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what’s taken is never given back. Only those who’ve lost their senses would dare to go near it.
Or the banished.
Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones, to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that’s as dangerous as it is alluring.
It’s there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon. The one tasked to keep her hidden from the magehood that seeks to crucify her in the name of an arcane prophesy. Zevander Rydainn, known to his prey as The Scorpion, is the coldest, most calculated assassin in all of Aethyria and he’d sooner toss his feisty ward to a pack of vicious fyredrakes than keep her safe.
If only he could.
Maevyth’s blood is the key to breaking his despised curse and vanquishing the slumbering evil in Witch Knell. Unfortunately for Lord Rydainn, fate has other plans for the irresistible little enchantress. And his growing obsession with her threatens to destroy everything.
Including himself.

“This is all I wanted out of this book and more- the only thing that took it down a notch was the ending. It felt very rushed, as if there was a realization of page limit in the last 50 pages (with should have taken 100). I can’t wait for the next book though!”

“um, what the hell???? the ending has me scratching my head like what in the hell is going on here?
i’ll admit, at the beginning of the book, i was very intrigued. it did lose some traction from about 30% and did not pick up again until 60%. so, i did struggle a little bit with actually getting through the book.
i highly enjoyed the somewhat “enemies” to lovers, but let’s be honest, they weren’t ever truly enemies. and then when the lovers part came, it was like 0-100 real mf quick. “you’re mine” this and that. i understand it, due to the context, but the whole end of the book was just horniness. i’m not necessarily complaining though because the spice was written extremelyyyy well. i needed a fan to cool myself down.
so, i suppose my main problem is that it felt quite slow during the whole middle part of the book. very exceptional writing and a pretty well-done romance, though. i’ll definitely be reading the next because the ending has my interest piqued, if you will.”
