She is the beginning and the end.
She is peace and chaos.
She is terror knocking at the gates.
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over . . . until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat—to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

There was enough mystery and depth in the plot to hold my attention and a juicy ending to entice on to the next book.
The world created is reminiscent of the Handmaid's Tale, with an oppressive patriarchy enforced through religion in a modern urban setting.
Lilith, the FMC, is an edgy, spiky, self-orientated character, for which Laura Horowitz is the perfect narrator for, bringing sass yet vulnerability. The background to her behaviours do become clearer, as the plot unfolds.
It's hard to say much about the MC, Zaherain, as his chapters are only a few lines but hopefully in the sequel his character will get to expand beyond 'handsome hero'.
Overall, a fun, accessible dark romance brilliantly narrated. Would definitely suit fans of Melissa Roehrich (Legacy series).
Intriguing story, great narration
