About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a dark romantasy of twisted justice, forbidden attraction and survival at any cost.

When twenty-year-old college dropout Moriah Shaker ducks into an empty chapel to escape a sudden storm, she’s catapulted into another world, Wizard of Oz style. Unfortunately, she lands in Hakeldama, a brutal, fantastical realm where the powerful never pay for their crimes, and the innocent always do. Worse, Moriah is next on the chopping block.

Desperate to get home, she sets her sights on the City of Lux, where a rumored portal between worlds may exist. Along the way, she gathers the most unlikely allies: a scrappy hustler, a disgraced ex-mayor, and a growing beast-dog with a taste for trouble. Most dangerous of all is Jasher, a ruthless executioner whose cold exterior hides a monstrous secret… and a past bound to hers in ways neither of them understands.

As bounty hunters, winged monsters and lethal poppies arise, Moriah discovers the greatest threat isn’t the world trying to end her. It’s falling for the man whose heart is encased in steel.

Ratings and reviews

Lions, Tigers, Flesh Eating Poppy Plants, Beware. We meet Moriah, a simple Kansas farm girl trying to take care of her sick dad. Only for her to have terrible luck and end up in a dark version of the Land Of Oz: Hakeldama. Such a mysterious place with twisted punishments for innocent citizens and a HOT EXECUTIONER. Jasher....double axe welding executioner. Come with us into a realm of crazy where a wrong turn from our characters could be life or death.

That was definitely a ride I wasn't expecting Gena has done it again, sucked me in into the story and I could not put down the book it was great can't wait for more. All the characters were great and the storyline kept me on the edge of my seat, it's been a while since I was able to get lost in a book, so Gena Showalter thank you for everything you do.

couldn't stop reading. Must sit here patiently waiting for the next book. Patience is not my virtue.......
