When Katherine Woodrow began studying magic with the infamous and elusive Lord Blackthorn, losing her heart and almost her life wasn't on the curriculum. But all magic has a price. Her friend Alma, a shapeshifter, will stop at nothing to save her, drawing on the power of the beasts that simmer beneath her skin and her own ancient magic.

More demons are escaping from the cursed texts the mortals didn't guard. The world is slipping back into darkness. And something is returning. . .a tale of deadly devotion.

This highly anticipated sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller Tales of a Monstrous Heart brims with slow-burn romance and forbidden magic.
