Prince of Ash is the unmissable conclusion to The Age of Blood trilogy, which began with Mistress of Lies, a dark fantasy romance with sizzling spice, vampiric blood magic, and cutthroat politics. 

THEIR LOVE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES OF EMPIRE.

Shan LeC laire is playing a dangerous game of deception. As the doting fiancée to the vampire king, she commits atrocities in the crown’s name while feeding secrets to her brother’s rebellion. The smallest misstep could mean her ruin, but she will do whatever it takes to ensure the king’s downfall. Even if he takes her down with him.

Isaac de la C ruz has embraced the monster within, walking the line between justice and vengeance. As a manananggal, Isaac tears down the Eternal King’s forces with little thought for his own safety. But as the King’s army of vampires take to the sky, Isaac realizes that one monster will not be enough to free the nation from its blood-stained history.

tripped of his magic, Samuel is plagued by chronic migraines and a directionless rage. But before disowning him, the Eternal King left one final gift: Samuel’s own blood can disrupt Blood Working. It’s a power like nothing the world has seen before, and if it’s all he can do to save his broken nations, Samuel is more than prepared to bleed.

  • "A thrilling, daring, sexy sequel that will bring readers to new highs—and lows—as the Age of Blood saga continues to enthrall."
    Laura R Samotin, the author of The Sins on Their Bones on Lord of Ruin
  • "A vicious story of love amidst revolution. Enright has crafted a bold and heart-shredding sequel that never shies away from monstrosity, identity, or the carnage of clashing ideals."
    S.A. Maclean, bestselling author of Voidwalker on Lord of Ruin
  • "Enright has done it again. A dark, sexy, twisted novel written in blood, Lord of Ruin is sure to delight. A triumph in folkloric vampirism and a fresh take on themes ranging from the patriarchy to trans identity, it is steeped in political intrigue and blood bending. I savored every last page."
    Taylor Grothe, author of Hollow and Of Auras and Shadows on Lord of Ruin
  • "A whip-smart follow-up to one of the best dark fantasies of the year. Lord of Ruin is dazzlingly violent, magnificently sharp, and–with the raw love story at its bloody, beating heart–everything I could’ve asked for." 
    Andrew Joseph White, bestselling author of You Weren't Meant to Be Human on Lord of Ruin
  • "[A] riveting and remarkably assured dark fantasy debut. Enright’s richly atmospheric prose immerses readers in a meticulously crafted world, where familiar vampire tropes are skillfully subverted. The high-stakes romance subplot, featuring a polyamorous relationship and trans representation, adds depth and tension to the narrative. Calling to mind the works of both Anne Rice and V.E. Schwab, this tale of magic, murder, and ambition will captivate fans of dark, political fantasy." 
    Publishers Weekly (Starred) on Mistress of Lies
  • "Mistress of Lies held me captive from the very first page. What a story—dark and gripping, raw and beautifully imagined. With their stunning prose, compelling morally gray characters, inventive magic system, and knack for piercingly heartfelt moments amidst all the horror and intrigue, K.M. Enright is definitely one to watch."
    Thea Guanzon, USA Today, New York Times, and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars on Mistress of Lies
  • "Mistress of Lies is a dark, twisting fantasy that grabs you by the throat with claws and refuses to let you go– a blood-stained, heart wrenching romance balanced on the knife’s edge of revolution. Luxurious and beautifully cruel."
    Andrew Joseph White, NYT bestselling author of Hell Followed With Us on Mistress of Lies
  • "Politics, family, and desire weave a tangled web across a decadent, blood-soaked city in this stunning debut. Dark, dangerous, and entrancing!”
    Melissa Caruso, author of The Obsidian Tower on Mistress of Lies
  • "Captivating and deadly, Mistress of Lies enthralls from the very first page. Twisted through with the darkest of secrets. . . a powerful exploration of race, class and injustice."
    Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins On Their Bones on Mistress of Lies
  • "A dark, delicate, beauty of a novel, with all the edges of sharpened steel."
    K.S. Villoso, author of The Wolf of Oren-Yaro on Mistress of Lies

    Ashley Shuttleworth, author of The Hollow Star Saga on Mistress of Lies
  • "Sensual and sinister, Mistress of Lies had me by the throat. This class conscious political fantasy speaks to the diasporic longing for recognition and connection, and the constant balancing of identity and integration in a very special way."
    Gabriella Buba, author of Saints of Storm and Shadow on Mistress of Lies
  • "Glittering darkly with facets of magic, romance, and deep lore, K. M. Enright's Mistress of Lies is a seductive and blood-soaked jewel of a debut."
    Lyra Selene, author of A Feather So Black on Mistress of Lies
  • "Mistress of Lies is dark, sexy, and twisty, the plot as winding and eerie as the streets of Aeravin itself. With compelling characters and a fresh take on blood magic, this book will seize you by the throat and hold your attention to the very end."
    Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter on Mistress of Lies
  • "Lush and unrelenting, this complex political intrigue is an ode to those who will seize destiny in their own, bloodied hands."
    Lyndall Clipstone, author of Unholy Terrors on Mistress of Lies
  • "An exquisitely crafted, bloodthirsty decadence of gothic romance and cunning political intrigue. Enright weaves a fantasy that is utterly unputdownable."
    Ashley Shuttleworth, author of A Dark and Hollow Star on Mistress of Lies
  • "Mistress of Lies is a honey trap of romance and royaltycore that leaves no corroded stone unturned when delving into the corruption at the heart of monarchy."
    Ladz, author of The Fealty of Monsters on Mistress of Lies
  • "A cunning and clawed fantasy romance. Whether manoeuvring cutthroat society parties or scorching bedroom alliances, Enright's characters crackle with chemistry, pitting loyalty against clashing ideals in a twisting murder mystery that will leave you breathless to the very end."
    S. A. MacLean, author of The Phoenix Keeper on Mistress of Lies
  • "A dark fantasy the way it should be done: intricately built, steeped in political intrigue, featuring messy families, morally grey protagonists, and visceral blood magic. I adored the world Enright has created, deep and complex, with an atmosphere so thick, you can slice it with a knife."
    Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days on Mistress of Lies
