Like the Moon We Rise

Prepare for your next romantasy obsession! Inspired by Celtic mythology, Like the Moon We Rise is the first in a heart-pounding trilogy by debut author Annabelle Cormack. Perfect for fans of Belladonna and Red Queen with the occult tones of One Dark Window.
The deadliest poisons are the sweetest . . .
Auriel has spent her life indentured to a cruel hag, working as a poison maiden to do her bidding. Her sole relief is a friendship with a dashing supplier, storyteller Faolan. But then Faolan betrays her, delivering her to haughty Prince Ambrose before she can earn her freedom.
Ambrose has a proposition: if Auriel pretends to be the prophesied all-powerful Khelani and helps him liberate their people from the Empire's control, he'll finally let her go. But Auriel is a poisoner and a witch, not a legendary warrior - and the prophecy is a fairy tale . . . isn't it?
If the war is to be won, bargains must be struck, motives hidden, friends broken and remade as lovers - meanwhile, unburied truths will shake the world to its core. Soon, Auriel is fighting not for her freedom, or her heart, but for her life.
