Description

Rejected, deadly, broken. And that’s just my love life.

My name is Merrick and within the Weywyrd community, I’m loathed and reviled, all because of a prophesy that foresaw that the infamous half-breed would end the world.

Ha! I think they give me too much credit.

The so-called prophesy inspired my betrothed to reject me and my vampire mentor to seduce me, even at the expense of my blood’s lethal toxicity.

And that’s if the Council doesn’t destroy us all first, because for the first time in centuries, we’ve all been exposed, and now every supernatural creature in existence is fighting for their very survival.

Friends turn on each other, and the only two men who have ever cared for me are about to find out that the love of a hybrid can be soul-destroying. And I’m about to learn that not everyone can be trusted, least of all my own mother who’s been keeping dangerous secrets of her own.

Immerse yourself within the dark fantasy world of the Gilded Ruins series, where the adventure is dark and deadly and the romance both thrilling and heartbreaking. Follow Merrick on a journey of self-discovery, forbidden love, and her unwavering need to survive at all costs.

Rejected, deadly, broken. And that’s just my love life.

The Gilded Descent is an absolutely captivating read that left me spellbound from beginning to end. The author masterfully creates a rich, immersive world where magic and adventure leap off the page, and the depth of detail in the world-building is truly remarkable.

The protagonist, is a beautifully complex character whose journey of self-discovery and courage resonates deeply. Her growth throughout the story is both believable and inspiring, making her a heroine you can’t help but root for. The supporting characters are just as well-crafted, each bringing their own unique charm and depth to the narrative.

The plot is filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when I thought I had figured out what would happen next, the author skillfully surprised me. The themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the fight between good and evil are woven seamlessly into the narrative, adding layers of meaning that will leave readers pondering long after they turn the last page.

Overall, is a must-read for fantasy lovers. I can’t wait for the next installment!
