Stacia Stark – författare

Första boken i BookTok-fenomenet Stacia Starks romantasy-serie!

I kungadömet Eprotien är magi både en gåva och en förbannelse. Bara timmar efter en människa föds tar gudarna deras magi, och i gengäld skyddar de människorna från varelserna som lurar utanför landets gränser. De människor som av någon anledning lyckats behålla sina krafter stämplas som korrupta och döms till döden. Prisca är villig att riskera allt för att undkomma det ödet.

När Priscas förbjudna magi avslöjas tvingas hon fly sitt hem och för att överleva sluter hon en pakt med Lorian, en gåtfull legosoldat. I utbyte mot hans hjälp med att bemästra den mörka kraft hon alltid hållt dold behöver hon sätta sitt liv på spel och trotsa självaste gudarna. Med kungarikets framtid på spel måste Prisca omfamna sina krafter samtidigt som hon brottas med sina växande känslor för Lorian. Men hur långt är hon villig att gå för att rädda dem hon älskar? Och kan hon ens göra det utan att falla ner i mörkret själv?

From the bestselling author of the Kingdom of Lies series comes a slow-burn romantasy set in a Roman-inspired world ruled by merciless vampires. Filled with breathtaking combat, vengeful gods, and magical creatures, We Who Will Die is the epic first installment in an enthralling new series perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Jasmine Mas, and Rebecca Yarros.

Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers. And the vampire standing on her doorstep is about to turn their world upside down. 

Faced with an unthinkable choice, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the impossible: kill the emperor, an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros. But first, she must enter the Sundering—an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard. 

She quickly draws the ire of the Primus, the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor. But the vampire under the armor is the last person Arvelle expects to encounter in the emperor’s court.

With her brothers’ lives in the balance, Arvelle has no choice but to ally with the man who once shattered her heart… and with the emperor’s sadistic son, Rorrik—two vampires whose motives are impossible to pin down. Rorrik holds the key to understanding the powers Arvelle is developing—abilities that would put a price on her head if discovered by the emperor.

To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must get to the bottom of a conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew about herself—and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her destiny…
