A gothic, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tale of life, death, and the dangerous bond between two sworn rivals.

DEEP IN THE UNDERWORLD, WILL LOVE BLOOM WHERE IT SHOULD NOT SURVIVE?

Jonquil Foye wields the power of Life.

Her sworn enemy, Edmund Blackburn, wields the power of Death.

On the battlefield, they clash in a deadly duel meant to decide the fate of their warring cities—until their magics entwine and create a volatile being so powerful it drags them both deep into Death itself.

Forced into a reluctant truce, Jonquil and Edmund must navigate the treacherous underworld and confront the horrifying consequences of their own creation.

As time runs out, their alliance sparks a deeper attraction. But truces are fragile, and Death seems determined to ensure they never return to the land of the living. . .

Praise for Deathsworn

Deathsworn is Meg Smitherman at her best: high stakes, luscious romance, and just a touch of horror. Set against the backdrop of ever-looming death, Deathsworn is invariably a novel about life—about being brave enough to claim what is rightfully yours. Nobody writes the macabre like Meg. Visceral, dark, and laced with Smitherman's trademark wit, Deathsworn is a stunning voray into gothic romantasy."

Lindsay Straube, NYT bestselling author of the Split or Swallow series

Sexy and enthrallingly dangerous, Deathsworn is a true gift to fans of enemies-to-lovers romantasy

De Elizabeth, author of She Haunts Me Still and This Raging Sea

DEATHSWORN is a breathtaking plunge into obsession and survival. . .a gothic, perilous read brimming with magic, monsters, and scorching desire. Utterly magnificent.

Logan Karlie, NYT bestselling author of Dream by the Shadows

Romantasy books have my heart, but a NECROMANTASY?! Dark, gothic, and deliciously moody, Deathsworn delivers a fresh story readers will absolutely devour. I cannot wait to see this book take the world by (deadly) storm!

Tina Mars, author of This Wretched Alchemy

Deathsworn is a deliciously gothic romantasy that whisks you into the depths of the world from the very first page. With a brilliantly crafted magic system, a dangerously haunted environment & a true enemies to lovers dynamic, anyone who yearns for an addictive page turner will be thrilled

Victoria S. Walsh, author of The Iron Hex

Hauntingly beautiful, spellbindingly sexy, and one of the more creative stories I've ever had the privilege of reading. Meg Smitherman has crafted a knockout blend of juicy horror, sprawling dark fantasy, and edge of your seat romance. I never wanted this book to end.

Kate Golden, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Half City.

Deathsworn is a fresh take on the fantasy romance genre--it's macabre yet romantic, and absolutely stunning! I ate up the dynamics between bookish Jonquil and the enigmatic Duke of Death as they are forced to team up to save mankind from the grotesque amalgamation of their magics. The classic battle of life versus death in an immersive, gothic world.

Demi Winters, New York Times bestselling author of The Ashen Series
