He is her ruin. She is his rebellion.

Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe
(The Heart Duology, Book 1 of 2)

The #1 bestselling dark dystopian romance sensation — perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, The Handmaid's Tale, and Conform. Over 43,000 five-star ratings worldwide.

The first thing you learn in New Found Haven is that mercy no longer exists. The second is that the Veyra are always watching — from the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slum dens of the Boundary, no movement goes unseen. The last lesson is the hardest: love outside of your ring is a death sentence. The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by masked elites who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.

Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds — publicly the flawless heir to the presidency, privately entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. When he's forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government's brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride as lethal as she is unwilling. Shadera is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. But when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, prisoner and wife, her every step watched and every move tested — their union is no love story. It's a battlefield. And as secrets surface and betrayals fester, they must decide: annihilate each other, or burn the city to the ground together.

Why readers can't put it down:

• 🖤 A forced political marriage between an assassin and her target
• 🔥 True enemies-to-lovers in a stratified dystopian city ruled by masked elites
• 🔪 A mercenary bride and a morally grey heir — both with everything to lose
• 🌆 Multiple POVs and multiple romances woven through a corrupt, crumbling regime
• ⚔️ “One of the best dystopian romances I've ever read” — Clio Evans, author of Broken Beginnings
