Everything You Need to Know About The Book of Azrael
A thousand years ago Dianna traded her life to save her dying sister Gabby, and the thing that answered was Kaden. The bargain remade her as an Ig'Morruthen, a shapeshifting monster bound to his will. Now Kaden wants the Book of Azrael, a relic said to hold the key to destroying the one being he fears. That being was once called Samkiel. In the new world he goes by Liam: the World Ender, last king of the gods, hiding from his crown since the Gods War. When Dianna's hunt for the book collides with Liam, she starts questioning everything Kaden built her into, and the two strike a blood deal, her help against Kaden in exchange for Gabby's protection.
Dark romantasy with a monster heroine, a depressed god, and a very slow thaw from hatred to something else.
Graphic violence, character death, grief and the loss of a sibling, manipulation and coercive control within Kaden's ranks, and dark themes throughout.
Dianna's turn is the spine of the book: faced with Kaden's lies, she kills Alistair, saves Liam's companion Logan, and breaks from the only life she has known. The ending is brutal. Kaden murders Gabby, the sister Dianna gave up everything to save, which destroys the deal holding Dianna together and sets up book two.
For readers who like their romantasy dark, slow, and mythology-heavy, with a heroine who is the monster rather than the girl who meets one. Fans of morally gray leads will be at home. This is a slow burn, so do not expect wall-to-wall spice in book one; the spice guide explains how we rate that. Not for readers who want a self-contained story, this is a long series that runs on cliffhangers.
Book 1 of the Gods and Monsters series, followed by The Throne of Broken Gods and Dawn of the Cursed Queen. Ends on a devastating note that leads straight into book 2.
