Tessonja Odette The Words That Weave the Dark

Seductive shadows, lunar magic, and lustful sins abound in the sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller The Lies That Summon the Night , where the only thing more dangerous than the monsters are those who wield them. Be my monster . . . Now that Inana knows the truth about what she is, she grapples with where she belongs - in the world, among her crew, and with the Shadowbane who stole her heart. Her friends may have accepted her . . . but can she accept herself? The monsters that lurk beneath her skin are deadly, and it's only a matter of time before she hurts someone she loves. Again. Her only solace is the mission Dominic gives her: learn to harness her shadows and kill the Sinless king. But first, Inana needs a mentor in lunar magic. With the aid of allies in the heart of a Sacred City, Inana ventures to uncover what she's capable of. There she and her friends navigate a treacherous new landscape. From a teahouse-brothel to the sin-drenched palace of the Sinless prince, enemies lurk around every corner, threatening to unravel her secrets. All the while, Inana fights to stay in control - of her shadows, her emotions, and above all else, her feelings for Dominic. Because giving in to her lustful desires isn't just a risk; it's lethal. And if she unleashes the darkness inside her, she won't save the Holy Continent. She'll destroy it.
