We Who Will Die

To survive the arena, she must trust her enemies...

An intoxicating romantasy of trials, vampires and slow-burn desire - perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent

Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers.

Faced with an unthinkable choice, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the impossible: kill the emperor, an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros.

But first, she must enter the Sundering -- an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor's elite guard.

As stakes rise and secrets emerge , she quickly draws the ire of the Primus, the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor -- while also finding herself depending on the enemy to hone her power... the emperor's vampiric son.

To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must uncover a deadly conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew about herself -- and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her destiny.
