Synopsis

THE EPIC AND SIZZLING YA ROMANTASY THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. SOON TO BE YOUR NEXT OBSESSION . . .
*This hardback edition features a stunning foiled board design under the dust jacket and full-colour endpapers featuring map artwork by Virginia Allyn.*

THEY SAY LOVE CONQUERS ALL . . .
BUT CAN LOVE WIN IN A WAR BETWEEN DEMONS AND EXORCISTS?
OR WILL IT JUST TEAR THEM ALL APART . . . ?

A brutal war between demons and humanity has raged across Europe for over a century. At its heart are two elite soldiers: Selene Alleva, a powerful exorcist trained at the prestigious Vatican Academy, and foot soldier, Jules Lacroix, unrivalled in battle.

When their paths cross, despite initial distrust - then unwelcome attraction - Jules and Selene discover a terrible secret at the heart of the holy Vatican City . . .

Soon Jules is forced to question everything he's ever known - including himself. And Selene, unable to ignore her growing feelings for Jules, must make an impossible choice between love and duty.

Serpent and Dove meets Empire of the Vampire, with a star-crossed, enemies-to-lovers romance at its heart. Perfect for fans of Powerless, Fourth Wing and Divine Rivals.
