City of Mirth and Malice Description: House of Bane and Blood After the death of my father, I vowed that if I ever met a member of the Attano family, I’d kill them. Instead, I married one. Magic, smoke, and steam swirl in the air. High in their mansions, the ruling cartels play games of blood and secrets, while monsters lurk in the alleyways below. Once I was the most powerful heiress in this city. Then the Attanos killed my father and left my family’s business empire in ruins. I’ll do whatever it takes to get it back… So when the man who destroyed my world offers to pay our debts—in exchange for my hand in marriage—I have no choice but to accept. Nicolai Attano is everything I was raised to hate. Arrogant, heartless and devastatingly handsome, he leads a group of criminals with lethal magical abilities. I know I can’t trust him, but Nicolai claims his offer is strictly business—if I help him find the serial killer who stalks the streets on his side of the city, he will release me from our contract. As we plunge into an underworld of magic and forbidden desires, I can’t deny the attraction drawing me to my new husband… or the thrilling power I feel whenever he’s around. Can I hunt down a killer and escape with my life, before the most dangerous man in the city steals my heart? City of Mirth and Malice Nicolai Attano is ruthless, relentless, deadly. And he’s mine. In a city where criminals rule the streets, I fell for the most dangerous of them all. And our love made me a target… Kidnapped by Nicolai’s enemies, I wake up in a prison of enchanted stone and steel—a place where only the strongest survive. Dark magic is burning in my blood. And my captors are desperate to take it from me. To leave this place, I must fight in duels and endure deadly challenges. My captors want to push my limits, forcing me to release my power. The other prisoners despise me, and though I don’t want to hurt them, I’ll do whatever it takes to win. I just have to stay alive until Nicolai gets here… Because I know he is coming for me. That he is tearing Lynchaven apart just to find me. Even in my darkest moment, I can feel him drawing closer. And when we are together again… the city is going to burn.
