The Rarkyn’s Familiar (Book 1 of the Rarkyn Trilogy)

When a violent encounter traps Lyss in a blood-pact with a rarkyn from the otherworld, she is imbued with the monster’s forbidden magic—a magic that will erode her sanity.

To break the pact, she and the rarkyn must journey to the heart of the Empire.

But horrors await them on the road.

The most terrifying monster isn’t the one Lyss travels with.

It’s the one that’s awoken inside her.
