Warriors Kaleb and Aya will stop at nothing to destroy their competition. But when Kaleb, a prizefighter from the otherworldly Untamed City, finds his fate entwined with that of Mallory, a seventeen-year-old human girl, he can’t seem to separate the vicious Carnival contest he’s entered from his sudden—and obsessive—devotion to her. All Mallory knows of the Untamed City is what her elders have told her—that it’s full of debauchery and daimons looking to destroy her. But she knows she’s being pulled toward Kaleb with an emotion so fierce that it’s utterly foreign. The two are forced apart by Mallory’s overprotective witch father, but when the City’s ruler raises the stakes of the Carnival’s prize, there’s nothing Mallory, Kaleb, or Aya can do to stop the two worlds from colliding. Mallory’s about to discover her true identity—and stumble into a fate she’d die to avoid. From the bestselling author of Wicked Lovely, Melissa Marr, comes a tale of lush secrets, dark love, and the struggle to forge one’s own destiny—told for the first time alongside the revealing prequel Carnival of Lies.
