Happy Saturday!

Hey everyone! Hope you guys are all having a great and relaxing weekend. 🙂

A few weeks ago, I got off the waitlist for Owlcrate’s Quarterly Romantasy Box, so naturally, I jumped at the chance to subscribe. Today I received my first box, and I am in love!! I am so excited to read this month’s pick!

Keep scrolling for an overview of January’s Kiss or Kill theme as well as pictures I’ve taken of this stunning special edition.

According to Owlcrate:

Our January pick is a dark and seductive romantasy that follows the story of a sacrificial princess born into a ruthless cycle of death and rebirth. With the threat of rebellion and the possible collapse of the boundary between gods and mortals, an immortal assassin is sent to kill her and restore order. What will happen to the fragile stability of the realm when their forbidden desire proves too strong, and they fall in love?

The Wolf & The Crown of Blood

Elizabeth May

A thrilling and incredibly sexy new dark romantasy series from Sunday Times bestselling author Elizabeth May.

A princess and a war-weary god met in the ashes of a broken city, forging a pact in blood and sacrifice.

Now, centuries of fragile peace are on the brink of collapse…

Bryony Devaliant was born to die — again and again. In Vartena, royal blood is the currency of peace, with every monarch sacrificed and resurrected to appease the gods. But when rebellion stirs, the god-king sends his deadliest weapon to restore order: an immortal assassin known only as the Wolf.

Evander has perfected the art of killing over centuries — until his latest target becomes the one person he cannot destroy. When forbidden desire burns between the assassin and the sacrificial princess, their connection threatens the fragile boundary between gods and mortals. And when that boundary shatters, empires crumble. Because when gods fall in love with mortals, mortals are always the ones to break.

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast and Eros and Psyche, this dark, seductive tale is perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy’s Plated Prisoner series, with the wit and spice of Callie Hart’s Quicksilver. Packed with dark fairytale vibes, gothic romance, and tropes like enemies to lovers, forced proximity, death pacts, and villain-gets-the-girl, this is a story where love is as deadly as it is irresistible.

Thoughts:

I am IN LOVE with this edition!! Look at those sprayed edges!! And the fan artwork??? Stunning. The Wolf & The Crown of Blood just made it to the top of my TBR! Apparently, the book isn’t officially releasing until Monday, so lucky me!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
