Mercy no longer exists.
New Found Haven is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.
Obedience is demanded.
Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he’s the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he’s entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he’s forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government’s brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride who is as lethal as she is unwilling.
Rebellion is crushed.
Shadera Kael is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt Heart, the centre of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.
Nothing is what it seems.
Their union is no love story – It’s a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating one another or burning the city to the ground together.
The Heart consumes.
In a world where passion incites rebellion and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution because . . .
Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.

The range of emotions and development of these characters is stellar, and the punchy dialogue hits in every. Single. Chapter. If this book series isn't optioned, I'll be shocked. It's that good
[Daggermouth] has taken BookTok by storm, and for good reason . . . true enemies-to-lovers romance and high-stakes action
Wolfe delivers one of the most real and believable enemies-to-lovers romances I’ve read in dystopian fiction. Shadera and Greyson’s story is as much about love as it is about power where two people are shaped into weapons by a despotic society before slowly realising they were never enemies, only cogs in a ruthless machine. What unfolds is a raw, slow-burn journey toward resistance and hope in the face of darkness
