PRE-ORDER your new necromantasy obsession. . .

The Knight and the Moth meets Phantasma in this spellbinding gothic, enemies-to-lovers tale of life, death, and the dangerous bond between two sworn rivals.

On the battlefield, they clash in a deadly duel meant to decide the fate of their warring cities—until their magics entwine and create a volatile being so powerful it drags them both deep into Death itself.

Critic reviews

"Deathsworn is a dark delight, combining incendiary slow burn enemies to lovers romance with the epic stakes of a necromantic war—utterly spellbinding." — Lyndall Clipstone, critically acclaimed author of Tenderly, I am Devoured

"Sexy and enthrallingly dangerous, Deathsworn is a true gift to fans of enemies-to-lovers romantasy. With electric banter, atmospheric magic, and a slow burn romance that sizzles, you'll find yourself racing toward the climatic finale while also savoring every word. An enchanting adventure, from beginning to end." —De Elizabeth, author of She Haunts Me Still and This Raging Sea

"Deathsworn is a breathtaking plunge into obsession and survival, where enemies are bound together in a realm determined to claim them forever. A gothic, perilous read brimming with magic, monsters, and scorching desire. Fans of romantic fantasy, thrilling adventure, and passion that refuses to die will devour this. Utterly magnificent."—Logan Karlie, New York Times bestselling author of Dream by the Shadows

"Deathsworn is Meg Smitherman at her best: high stakes, luscious romance, and just a touch of horror. Set against the backdrop of ever-looming death, Deathsworn is invariably a novel about life—about being brave enough to claim what is rightfully yours. Nobody writes the macabre like Meg. Visceral, dark, and laced with Smitherman's trademark wit, Deathsworn is a stunning voray into gothic romantasy." - Lindsay Straube, New York Times bestselling author of the Split or Swallow series
