Tenderly, I Am Devoured

Lark is eighteen when a violent incident gets her expelled from her prestigious boarding school. She goes back to her isolated coastal hometown and finds her family close to financial ruin. To save them, she agrees to a marriage of convenience with Therion, the chthonic god the town has worshipped for generations.

The betrothal ritual goes badly wrong. Lark starts to vanish from the mortal world, one piece at a time, and she has little time to find a way to stop it.

Her only hope lies with Alastair Felimath, a brilliant and arrogant boy who caused her first heartbreak, and with his magnetic older sister, Camille. The three of them dig into the town's old and dangerous folklore, searching for a cure.

The book is a gothic YA fantasy with a polyamorous romance at its center. As the trio's entanglement deepens, it draws the notice of something far darker than the god Lark was promised to. Reading it means a dark, atmospheric story of a seaside town and its buried secrets.
