House of Bane and Blood by Alexis L. Menard
Set in a post-industrial age magical Isle, Peaky Blinders meets Shadow & Bone's Grishaverse in this fantasy romance where a contract marriage brings two enemies together but threatens to burn their city to the ground.
In a city split into two opposing sides, power comes in many forms: bloodlines, money, love, and—most importantly—secrets.
Camilla Marchese is fighting a losing battle to keep her family’s syndicate from slipping into bankruptcy. So when the gorgeous and merciless Nicolai Attano, leader of a rival family, offers to pay their debt in exchange for her hand, she has no choice but to accept.
For Nicolai, the marriage is essential to prevent a war, especially as a serial kidnapper known as The Collector has been ravaging the streets, stirring up mistrust between their opposing sides of the city. If Milla can help Nico find The Collector, she can walk away from their union with more freedom than she’s ever known.
But this deal plunges them into a deadly game of depravity between remnant magic and arcane science. As the two grow closer and the stakes grow ever higher, will they be able to trust each other enough to discover the truth before it gets them both killed or worse…collected.

Darkly decadent and brimming with vengeance, House of Bane and Blood is for readers who crave morally gray intrigue, knife-sharp politics, and dangerous bargains sealed in blood. It’s seductive, ruthless, and impossible to put down—the kind of fantasy romance that feels like stepping into a hall of shadows where every smile hides a blade.

from 42 reviewsThe packaging was super cute and well packed. I was surprised to see the box was personalized. Thank you!! I can’t wait to jump into my new read.
The packaging was beautiful i didnt even want to open it to damage how well put together it was. Tysm
The book is a birthday gift for my wife. I have not opened the package yet because the box and packaging is far better than I could ever hope for. Just hope it’s the deluxe version she’s been wanting when she opens it
I ordered a signed novel online and am immensely impressed with this shop, as well as devastated that I don't have the privilege of being close enough to visit in person. Ambia was very responsive and patient with a question I had regarding shipping. The book was packed with the utmost care and arrived in perfect condition. She included the sweetest treats and trinkets along with the book. This will definitely be my first stop if I'm considering an online book purchase.

Thank you so much for everything!A true love for your business and we can see it by the care of product package and customer service :)
One of my favourite books from the last few months! LVED IT! Can't waiter book 2 to be released!
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC copy from the author and so happy to have pre-ordered a physical copy with Ambia! The book is perfect short read for days when you’re in the mood for something a little spooky, paranormal with steamy romance all rolled in one!
Very well crafted and the design works perfectly with my off-white bookshelves.
