Description

New York Times bestselling author Aurora Ascher's hilarious and hot blend of spicy demon romance and cozy fantasy featuring a half-mad demon with questionable morals, a goth witch who kicks ass and takes names, and a magical library in a castle in Hell. Perfect for fans of Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Brynne Weaver, Jenna Levine, and Kimberly Lemming.

DELUXE LIMITED EDITION featuring stenciled edges, designed chapter headers and inside covers, series spine design and bonus content! Only available for a limited time and while supplies last.

A villain always has a plan . . . but she's a complication he never saw coming.

Murmur, the nefarious Necromancer, is losing his mind. His army of souls screams in his head, and his dreams are filled with bone-chilling visions of his approaching death. To save himself, he will unleash a torrent of destruction unlike anything Hell has seen before . . . But for his plot to succeed, he requires one final ingredient: the blood of a certain headstrong witch.

This witch can rescue herself . . .

Suyin, leader of the Montreal coven, hides her dread beneath a tough exterior. Unusual abilities she can't explain are taking over her life, and she's haunted by ominous dreams. Her fears are realized when she's captured by a demon with bloodshot eyes. Murmur plans to leave her in his dungeon, but Suyin has no intention of making this easy for him. Bargaining with demons is dangerous business, but she'll do anything to survive.

Enemies may become lovers, but fate has other plans.

Forced into close proximity, things begin to shift between Suyin and her captor. But as the Necromancer's machinations reach a pinnacle, he is faced with an impossible choice: achieve his master plan, or free the woman who resurrected his dormant soul.

Critical Reviews

Praise for Aurora Ascher:

"A spicy supernatural good time with endearing characters and humor baked into a fun and unique love story." ―Hannah Nicole Maehrer, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Assistant to the Villain on My Funny Demon Valentine

"Holy hot grand piano keys! This one hooked me from the first chapter and didn't let go until the very end. Ash was so sweet and lovable but still had the vibe of a man that would bring you the head of their enemies. Eva was strong and held her own. Combined, these two make for a deliciously devilish romance." ―Kimberly Lemming, USA Today Bestselling author of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon on My Funny Demon Valentine

"My Funny Demon Valentine is a delightfully escapist paranormal romp that's utterly hilarious and steamy as hell. I had the time of my life reading about Ash's and Eva's path to each other and cannot wait for the rest of this series." ―Jenna Levine, USA Today bestselling author of My Roommate is a Vampire

"This spellbinding and gripping enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance will be the quickest you've devoured a book since Fourth Wing." ―Refinery29, Most Anticipated Books of 2024 on Sanctuary of the Shadow

"Ascher's latest is a fantasy romance that has everything nice--a hot love interest, a relatable main character, female friendship--and plenty of (consensual) spice." Booklist on Sanctuary of the Shadow

"With twists and revelations that come at the right times, helped along by dreams and sensuality, Sanctuary of the Shadow is a passionate fantasy novel in which a girl finds her equal in her opposite." Foreword

"Ascher's worldbuilding is fascinating."Publishers Weekly on Sanctuary of the Shadow
