The Lure of Wolves and Whispers

By Amanda Connolly

Book Overview

After trading her life for forbidden magic to save her sister, a young woman must survive a deadly competition--and assassinate a tyrant king--in this dark, Irish lore-inspired romantasy and "sizzling, high-stakes debut launching a series that readers will greedily devour" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

On the mist-shrouded Isle of Eireann, buying magic comes with a price.

But when her beloved older sister is gravely injured, Maeve risks everything for the forbidden magic that might save her. She even trades her life to a ruthless and dangerously alluring rebel leader.

Bound to do his bidding, Maeve finds herself thrown into a deadly competition to become the next queen and stand beside a prince rumored to be more brutal than his tyrannical father.

Maeve, however, hasn't come for the crown. She has come to kill the king.

With the isle on the brink of war, trust and survival come at a terrible cost--one that will tear Maeve's world, and her heart, in two.
