Raven's Wrath - by Margot Grey (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In this dystopian paranormal romance, a demon and a demon hunter forge an unlikely alliance in the ultimate fight for agency and freedom.

Set in a brutal world after the collapse of civilization, this debut is perfect for readers who loved the high stakes of H. M. Wolfe's Daggermouth and the dark humor of Brynne Weaver's Leather & Lark.

After a demon invasion decimates the world, a brutal regime rises to power. Men dominate leadership, while women are forced into strict roles. You marry, work, or surrender to government-run birthing programs. Compliance is rewarded, and disobedience is punished.

Raven's life shatters when she loses her unborn child and her husband discards her. In a desperate attempt to escape gestation services, she joins the Brotherhood, a holy alliance of demon hunters. As the only woman in a sexist organization, she channels her rage into killing every demon she meets until she is assigned an impossible mission. Ordered to eliminate Dax Morningstar, a half demon and the son of Lucifer, she either completes the mission and risks her soul for killing a half-human man or fails and faces an unforgiving system.

When she fails to end his life, Raven is forced into an uneasy alliance with Dax that threatens to upend everything she thought she knew about their world. But when their deception is uncovered, Raven is captured and forced into a birthing program. Now, the same system that broke her claims her body in the name of humanity's survival, and Raven must decide, once and for all, whether to submit or burn it all down from the inside.

With plenty of enemies-to-lovers tension and full of clever banter, Raven's Wrath is an emotionally driven romance with a feminist twist that explores bodily autonomy and the power of choice and self-determination.
