T****o kill monsters, do you need to become one? Before a slit throat changed everything, Savy and her sister Fia were heirs to Blackshell, an island ruled by three powerful families. Fia was the fearless Crown Heir destined for greatness. Savy lived quietly in her shadow. They were inseparable, bound by loyalty and loss, until the Hollow Headsman, a ruthless enemy soldier, murdered Fia before Savy’s eyes. Now her sister is dead, Blackshell has fallen, and the Hollow Headsman is building flying warships based on her parents’ designs. Savy doesn’t know why her parents fled, leaving her and Fia to die, but their disappearance isn’t the only mystery buried on Blackshell. Haunted by secrets and the ghost of a childhood friend, Savy steps into Fia’s blood-soaked shoes. As Blackshell’s last heir, she sets a course for revenge that sails her to vicious enemies, treacherous allies, mythical creatures—and Trystan, a mysterious boy who makes her question how far she’s willing to go. For Savy, love could be a gift…or a curse that devours her, bones and all. Make Me Monstrous is a standalone YA dark fantasy novel featuring a strong female protagonist (who isn’t the chosen one), a romantic subplot, morally black villains (including a tyrant queen), found family, swordfights, curses, mermaid mythology, and more.
