Daughter of the Dark - R. J. Valldeperas

nThis gorgeous hardcover edition features a deluxe foiled jacket, beautiful designed endpapers, and a case stamp. n nA Traitor's Daughter, the Demons' Slayer... the City's Only Hope.

n nFor Solana, survival has always meant staying sharp--and staying alone. With a blood-forged dagger as her only inheritance, she's made herself Supay's fiercest demon slayer, hunting muki--monsters born from human death--through the kingdom's streets. n nBut the work comes with a curse of its own: every body she leaves behind swells the muki's ranks.

The city that raised her has been her cage for so long she's stopped believing freedom is real. n nThen a twist of fate drags her into the palace and crowns her Royal Demon Slayer, a title wrapped in silk and sharpened like a blade. The magic is dazzling.

The secrets are darker. And whatever is poisoning Supay didn't start in the alleys. It started behind gilded doors.

n nWorst of all is Reyes, the king's right-hand man, a captain of the Masters, and her personal torturer turned mentor who's dangerously hard to resist. Wanting him is a mistake. Trusting him could be fatal.

nBecause if Solana walks away, the kingdom falls. And if she stays, she may have to become the monster Supay needs.n
