'Daggermouth immediately sucked me in and held me captive until the last page. This is THE adult dystopian I have been searching for – excellent, intimate prose combined with a heart-pounding TRUE enemies to lovers we all crave. H. M. Wolfe is leading us into the next dystopian wave we've been desperate for since The Hunger Games' – Tina Mars, author of This Wretched Alchemy
'An exhilarating ride from start to finish, Daggermouth is a layered, complex, and oftentimes brutal depiction of a world where secrets, wealth, and power are currency. Every character is fully drawn and leaps off the page, and the plot centres around shifting alliances and twists that had me gasping! I ate this one up . . . An absolute masterpiece' – Keshe Chow, author of For No Mortal Creature
'The dystopia I’ve been waiting for my whole life. A steely illustration of oppression and brewing rebellion populated with beautifully-layered characters, knife-sharp dialogue, and alluring romances that left me transfixed. Daggermouth’s victory isn’t simply that it excels in every element but pulls them together to quietly, fiercely assert humanity through rage, despair, and the systems of power determined to crush them all' – Shalini Abeysekara, author of This Monster of Mine

If you pick up one more book this year, it should be this one' – Mikayla D Hornedo, author of Blood & Brujas

H. M. Wolfe
H. M. Wolfe writes fantasy and dystopian fiction that lingers on emotional truth as much as on imagined worlds. Her stories are shaped by tension, vulnerability, and the quiet moments where characters are forced to confront who they are beneath the systems built around them. Rather than rushing toward spectacle, Wolfe’s work unfolds patiently, allowing atmosphere and inner conflict to carry the weight of the narrative.
Born in Phoenix, Arizona, and now living in Central Florida, Wolfe’s creative path began long before novels. Music, poetry, and short fiction came first, serving as early ways to process feelings that were difficult to name. A renewed love of fantasy novels, encouraged by her sister, helped her realize that long-form storytelling could hold both imagination and emotional honesty. That influence is visible in books like The Book of Cin, Blood Rains Down, and Daggermouth, where dystopian settings, romantic tension, and political unease intersect with themes of identity, trauma, and resilience.
Daggermouth
The Daggermouth series is set inside a city where power is inherited, obedience is engineered, and violence is wrapped in ceremony. New Found Haven is divided by class and control, its citizens sorted, watched, and disciplined by a ruling elite that believes fear is the cleanest form of order. The world feels closed in, deliberate, and quietly brutal, a place where survival depends less on strength than on knowing when to stay silent.
Daggermouth consists of one book and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
