When disgraced interior designer William Frank is hired to renovate a ballroom in the secluded city-state of Bloodgrove, he sees one last chance to save his ruined reputation.

But Duchess Elodie Ormonde is no ordinary client. As the last of her bloodline, she is fighting the city’s noble houses for the coveted title of the King’s Red Hand. Her biggest rival is Eric Arcos—merciless, brilliant, and, most dangerously of all, beautiful.

As Bloodgrove reveals its secrets and dark history, Will is drawn deeper into a world of ruthless ambition, deadly rivalry, and treacherous desire. Caught between Elodie and Eric, he must confront his own forbidden magic before the city devours him whole.

A beautifully grotesque and decadent romantasy.
