Buongiorno a tutti! Secondo post dedicato al RARE e seconda autrice di cui vi parlo: Stacia Stark, nota per il romanzo Una corte così crudele e bella (primo volume della serie Kingdom of Lies) edito Mondadori. Tuttavia non vi parlo di questo suo romanzo più conosciuto (che ho preordinato al RARE in edizione speciale e di cui vi parlerò in futuro) bensì del primo volume della sua nuova serie, We who will die, un romantasy con i vampiri ispirato in una sorta di Antica Roma fantasy. Squisitamente trash, squisitamente divertente.
Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers.
Faced with an unthinkable choice, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the impossible: kill the emperor, an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros.
But first, she must enter the Sundering ― an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard.
As stakes rise and secrets emerge, she quickly draws the ire of the Primus, the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor ― while also finding herself depending on the enemy to hone her power… the emperor’s vampiric son.
To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must uncover a deadly conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew about herself ― and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her destiny.
