Description
A powerful Siren must face the monster threatening her home, even if it means risking everything--including the king she's grown to love--in this dark and romantic follow-up to In the Veins of the Drowning. The realm has a new queen ... and a new monster. Imogen Nel, a powerful Siren, can no longer hide her monstrous abilities. She has claimed her ancestral crown and new grotesque magic, and now the corrupted bond she shares with the ancient deity Eusia is stronger than ever. Though Imogen is determined to sever it, doing so is no easy feat. The threat of war looms. Shifting alliances, a hunger for magic, and her feelings for Theodore, King of Varya, attempt to thwart her at every turn. Meanwhile, Theodore is battling the strain of his own crown and commitments. When Imogen suddenly appears on his ship, every dutiful resolution he's ever made threatens to snap. As they draw nearer to ending Eusia, lurking dangers and their perilous desire for one another prove nearly insurmountable. Will the chaos, ruin, and death that Imogen was prophesied to usher into the realm be the end of all things, or the beginning?

Critical Reviews
"Full of twisting alliances, blood-soaked bargains, and deliciously painful angst, In the Wake of the Ruined is truly the dark fantasy romance of my dreams. Theo and Imogen will leave you breathless, racing towards the epic conclusion of an absolutely show-stopping duet. Come for the sirens and stay for the yearning! Needless to say, I cannot wait to read more from Kalie Cassidy."--Kalie Reid, author of The Sacred Space Between
"Decadent, dark, and absolutely enthralling, In the Wake of the Ruined will satisfy every hunger--and it is everything Cassidy's fans have been waiting for. I could not get enough."--Bel Banta, author of The Court of Venus
"Dark, addictive, and brimming with romantic tension, this sequel sinks its claws deep and doesn't let go. Imogen and Theodore's story is as perilous as it is irresistible, and I was completely swept away. Cassidy is a fierce new voice in the genre."--Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author
