INSTANT #1 UK BESTSELLER - The epic young adult romantasy that caused an international sensation--a star-crossed, enemies-to-lovers saga about a war between demons and exorcists . . . and the forbidden love that could change the course of history.
"Sinister magic, crackling banter, and sizzling tension."--Emily Thiede, author of This Vicious Grace
It is said that love conquers all. But will it tear them apart? Humanity has waged a bloody war against demons for more than a century, with two elite soldiers now leading the fight: Selene Alleva, a powerful exorcist trained at the prestigious Vatican Academy, and orphan Jules Lacroix, unrivaled on the battlefield. When their paths cross, the distrust--and unwelcome attraction--is immediately apparent. But to get to the bottom of a series of unprecedented demon attacks, Selene and Jules strike an uneasy alliance, agreeing to an unusual arrangement: a fake engagement. With Jules posing as Selene's estranged fiancé, they head to the holy Vatican City in search of answers--only to discover a terrible secret. Soon Jules is forced to question everything he's ever known--including himself. And Selene, unable to ignore her growing feelings for Jules, must make an impossible choice between love and duty. Book One of the Cruel Is the Light Duology
