We are incredibly excited to announce that our August Locked Library theme is . . .
Amidst The Ruins
Thirty-seven years after the Republic’s fall, two settlements battle for control of the land. An eighteen-year-old healer risks her life to aid soldiers but is shot with a poisoned arrow by an enemy assassin. He offers to save her with rare magic, binding them together. The problem? Acknowledging the attraction between them allows him to see her memories and the knowledge he needs to destroy her people. But their magical connection works both ways. To save her people, she’ll need to destroy him and his people first.
