What I've Tasted of Desire

By Miranda Levi

He hunted her.
He haunted her.
He loved her in every life.

Now Scarlet remembers.

As the truth of her past crashes into the present, Scarlet Singer can finally see the shape of the lie that ruled her life. The Circle did not protect the world. It fed on it. It stole magic, buried history, and turned Scarlet into a prize to worship, use, and destroy.

But the girl they tried to break is gone.
In her place stands a woman with the power to burn their empire down.

At her side is Dagon, the sea-born god history renamed a demon, the monster she feared before she understood him, and the one soul bound to hers across centuries of blood, loss, and longing. What began as hatred became temptation. What became temptation became truth. Now Scarlet must decide what she is willing to destroy for freedom, for love, and for the future of every magical life the Circle has tried to control.

As realms collide and war erupts, Scarlet and Dagon must fight for more than each other. They must tear open the world, expose what was hidden, and end a system built on stolen bodies and stolen power.

What I've Tasted of Desire is the sweeping final book in a dark romantasy trilogy featuring enemies to lovers, goddess and monster romance, morally gray love interest, reincarnation, blood magic, ancient magic, and the fall of a corrupt magical order.What people are saying about The Fountain of Youth Trilogy: Supernatural meets The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, "...never dull...a neat twist on the concepts of the fountain of youth and reincarnation." -Kirkus Reviews
