Dark Bloom

In a city that cages magic, the most dangerous thing is a girl who refuses to bow. Magic is forbidden in Sol. Monsters are jailed and sold into slavery. And the powerful decide who gets to live and how they do so. When Scarlet's hidden fairy blood erupts in a burst of wings and fury, she's banished into slavery alongside Gabriel-a quiet boy haunted by grief and the ghost of those he lost. Exiled beyond the city walls into a wilderness of dragons, pirates, and deals with the devil, their fates twist toward each other in ways neither wants to name. But the deeper they're pulled into the world's unraveling, the more they must confront the truth: the real monsters aren't the ones with claws. They're the ones who benefit from keeping everyone else powerless.
