He’s Fated to kill her; she’s going to fall for him anyway.

The Witcher clashes with the Shire in this pulse-pounding strangers-to-lovers romantasy about a broody monster hunter and the charming innkeeper he’s duty-bound to protect, tempted to love, and destined to kill. 

When Anya looks into the Mirror of Death at her small town’s annual Mirror Festival, she expects to see what she always sees: a long and peaceful life in the community she loves. But this year, she sees a stranger: strong, handsome, and Fated to bring her early death. 

When she finds herself convicted of her own future-crime, Anya embarks on a dangerous quest to the capital to clear her name—only to be attacked by a monster that shouldn’t exist, and rescued by the very man destined to kill her. 

Idris is a monster-hunting knight of a secret order, now bound by duty to escort Anya to her trial. As they face terrifying monsters, assist quirky townsfolk, and share a tiny tent together, Idris and Anya find themselves drawing inexplicably closer. But when enemies from Idris’s past drag Anya into a world of cutthroat criminals and sordid politics, Idris fears he’ll bring her death, after all.

As desire, duty, and dark conspiracies thrust Anya and Idris into a world of intrigue and danger, they’ll have no choice but to tempt their disastrous Fate.
