âAll paradise opens! Let me die eating ortolans to the sound of soft music!â â Benjamin Disraeli

Across a fragile, liminal veil from the lovely, magic-inundated, and delicately human earth lies the soulless Loris, the realm of banished seraphics, where war is the economy, information is currency, and mortals stolen at youth from earth are forever sentenced to intellectual slavery beneath angelic overlords.Â
Magic in Loris is dwindlingâthe seraphics lost their powers many millennia ago when the demigods crafted Loris, their bleak yet beautiful prison, but when a new generation of seraphics is born wingless, the six seraphic Houses of Loris are plunged into a wild race to return magic to the realm. Every seraphic knows that whoever returns magic will be immortalized as a demigod and crowned the new Grand Magistrate, High Ruler of Loris.Â
In the whirlwind of unbridled ambition and treacherous schemes that ensues, the reigning Grand Magistrate is found dead, and his elder son, Holy Prince and heir-apparent, missing, leaving the notoriously reckless Prince Adonis coronated High Ruler. Hours later, the great House of Mothflower falls overnight at the hands of an unregistered mortal girl, and the seraphics watch like hungry crows as Adonis faces the first threat to his new crown. They expect Adonis to succeed and make an example of the insurgent or to fail and have his kingdom picked apart by older and significantly more powerful seraphics, but Adonis has other plansâand so does the girl.
In the exhilarating first installment of the LORIS Duology, a girl with an infatuation for power, a love that has been twisted into something wretched, and a century-old monster wearing the face of an angel send the most powerful beings of Loris dancing delicately between traps and schemes.

đđąđ„đ đđ„ đđąđđŹ đŁđ„đđĄđđ đđ„đđŠ đ©đąđđ§đđđ„đ Decisive, intelligent, and cold, Eris was once the perfect prospective ruler for the seraphics. Now he is left reeling from betrayal, stranded in a foreign realm where he is nobody, and the pathetic, vulnerable boy he fought so hard not to be is rising towards the surface like maggots swarming inside an elk carcass.Â
đđđšđŁđđđĄđ đđđđ©đđđđ„đ Devastatingly clever and delicately enchanting, the mortal Dauphine captured the fascination and fear of Loris in a single night. In the wake of the death of her mother, she has no one to love and nothing to stop her from pursuing what she believes to be her destiny.

He bides his time and bites his tongue alone in silence, waiting patiently for vengeance, when a perfect opportunity appears in the form of a fallen heir.
