From USA Today Bestselling author KM Moronova comes a brand-new compelling and addictive dark romance in her Dark Forces world. Dark. Deadly. Irresistible. Cameron Mortem has a problem―he can't stop killing his partners. Officially labeled clinically insane, he's also one of the most lethal assets in the Dark Forces, a brutal underground military operation built on obedience, survival, and silence. But an experimental drug has fractured his control, making him a liability whenever someone else is on the field. As punishment, he's thrown back into the Under Trials―a merciless boot camp designed to break the weak and sharpen the ruthless. His one directive? Don't kill the new girl. Emery Maves narrowly escapes a death sentence after her own brutal crimes, only to find herself forced into the same violent world. Assigned to Cameron, she's expected to survive the Trials and her partner's unstable nature. But Emery quickly realizes there's more to Cameron than bloodlust and body counts. Beneath the madness lies a terrifying allure―and a strange, dangerous tenderness. As the Trials push them to their limits, Emery must navigate the brutal demands of the Dark Forces while resisting the pull of a man who could just as easily kill her as protect her. And Cameron must fight the one urge he's never been able to overcome. Their bond is intoxicating, chaotic, and born of violence. And if it doesn't destroy them both, it might just save them. Praise for KM Moronova's previous Dark Forces novel, Leave Me Behind: "Brutal, emotional, and unforgettable―KM Moronova pulls no punches.""A dark, aching romance that left me breathless and begging for more.""Every chapter was a punch to the gut―in the best way.""Raw, haunting, and utterly unique. I still can't stop thinking about it.""KM Moronova delivers flawed, vicious characters you can't help but fall for."

In dreams he will haunt her. Through shadows she must save him. Beauty and the Beast meets Labyrinth in this YA gothic fantasy about a deadly dream world and the shadow-cursed girl that must survive it. Perfect for fans of books like Belladonna and One Dark Window, as well as readers who love atmospheric fantasy worlds filled with curses, secrets, and a touch of horror. In the Kingdom of Noctis, dreams are deadly and darkness reigns. Villages are rife with Corruption, a soul-stealing curse spread by dreaming, and the wicked Shadow Bringer is said to rule from his monstrous castle in the Dream Realm. Only the elixir, an expensive draught taken every night before sleeping, can halt dreams and prevent the curse from taking hold. But it is terribly expensive —  and cannot cure those already afflicted.  Esmer Havenfall has only ever wanted to escape her miserable village life. But when her sister dies from Corruption and her elixir-dealing parents are accused of a horrific crime, her life turns from one nightmare to another. And when she begins dreaming of the Shadow Bringer and learns that his monstrous powers might be hers, too, she's wrenched away from everything she's ever known to join him in his castle in the Dream Realm.  If they wish to earn their freedom, Esmer and the Shadow Bringer must fight to save both their kingdom and their souls. Unfortunately, time is running out; even as they traverse a precarious dreamscape, rushing to unravel the Shadow Bringer's haunted past, more dreamers are falling prey to Corruption and dying. And if they fail, they'll be lost to the Dream Realm forever.
