RUINED LANDS, BOOK ONE​

​​

When freedom wears the face of your greatest fear.

Selene Sinclair has survived nine years of servitude, but when the infamous Collector arrives to claim her, she knows her fate is sealed. Greyson Blackburn’s reputation precedes him—a man who buys broken souls and makes them disappear. Yet when he purchases not just her, but the children under her care, Selene begins to question everything she’s heard about the monster of New London.

Greyson never intended to care for the woman bold enough to threaten him with a fire poker rather than cower before his reputation. Especially knowing the ghosts of his past and what befalls those close to him. But as Selene glimpses the man beneath the beastly mask, and Greyson finds himself fighting not just for duty but for a future he never dared imagine, everything he’s built to keep his family safe begins to crumble.

When Draven, Greyson’s ruthless rival, sets his sights on destroying the Blackburn legacy, Selene becomes the target in a deadly game of power. But as earthquakes shake the foundation of their world and buried secrets emerge from the Screaming Woods, Selene learns that sometimes the person you’re most afraid to trust is the one who’s been protecting you all along.

Set in a dystopian world transformed by ancient catastrophe, City of Ruin is a gothic Jane Eyre and Beauty and the Beast mashup and soul-stirring tale of two scarred hearts who find healing within the ruin—where hope defies the shadows of their past, and love demands risking everything for their future.
