Mercy no longer exists.
New Found Haven is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.
Obedience is demanded.
Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he’s the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he’s entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he’s forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government’s brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride who is as lethal as she is unwilling.
Rebellion is crushed.
Shadera Kael is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt Heart, the centre of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.
Nothing is what it seems.
Their union is no love story – It’s a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating one another or burning the city to the ground together.
The Heart consumes.
In a world where passion incites rebellion and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution because . . .
Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.

Daggermouth had me in a chokehold! Shadera Kael is bound to be your next favorite morally grey heroine. Impossible stakes, sizzling writing and plot twists you’ll never see coming . . . this book has everything you want in a dark dystopian
The range of emotions and development of these characters is stellar, and the punchy dialogue hits in every. Single. Chapter. If this book series isn't optioned, I'll be shocked. It's that good
Daggermouth immediately sucked me in and held me captive until the last page. This is THE adult dystopian I have been searching for -- excellent, intimate prose combined with a heart-pounding TRUE enemies to lovers we all crave. H. M. Wolfe is leading us into the next dystopian wave we've been desperate for since The Hunger Games
An exhilarating ride from start to finish, Daggermouth is a layered, complex, and oftentimes brutal depiction of a world where secrets, wealth, and power are currency. Every character is fully drawn and leaps off the page, and the plot centres around shifting alliances and twists that had me gasping! I ate this one up . . . An absolute masterpiece
