In the shadowed streets of Edessa, a city where power is as fragile as it is dangerous, Sarai is no stranger to darkness. Four years ago, an attempt on her life left scars that cut deeper than skin. Now, a Petitor — a prosecutor with the rare ability to detect lies — she returns to confront the shadows of her past and the political corruption that festers in the city's heart.
This Monster of Mine is not your typical romantic fantasy. It’s a world where every truth feels like a lie, and every bond is tainted by ambition. Sarai’s path collides with Tetrarch Kadra, a cold and calculating judge whose power rivals the city’s most feared leaders. He may hold the key to her past — or be the monster she’s spent years hunting. As their fates intertwine, Sarai is pulled into a slow-burning dance of trust, betrayal, and the dangerous allure of the very man she believes tried to kill her.
Rich in world-building and atmosphere, this series transports readers to a time and place inspired by Ancient Rome, where magic is as real as politics, and loyalty is a currency in short supply. The deep, morally complex characters keep you questioning: Who can Sarai trust, and what is the cost of seeking vengeance?
With its intricate plot, dark romance, and exploration of justice, This Monster of Mine weaves a narrative that is as emotionally gripping as it is thought-provoking. As Sarai navigates a city that makes monsters out of even the best of them, she must decide whether vengeance is worth the price of her own humanity.
Every page pulls you deeper into the heart of Edessa, where trust is the deadliest weapon of all. Welcome to a world where nothing is as it seems, and monsters come in many forms.
