Tenderly, I Am Devoured
After a violent incident gets her expelled from her prestigious boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lark returns to her isolated coastal hometown to find her family on the edge of financial ruin. Desperate to save them, she agrees to a marriage of convenience to Therion, the chthonic god the town has worshipped for generations.
When the betrothal ritual goes catastrophically wrong, Lark begins to vanish from the mortal realm, piece by piece. Her only hope is Alastair Felimath, the brilliant, arrogant boy who gave her her first heartbreak, and his magnetic older sister Camille. As the three of them dig into the town's old, dangerous folklore in search of a way to save her, they fall into a consuming entanglement that draws the attention of something far darker than the god Lark was meant to marry.
