August Bookish Book Selection:

In collaboration with Cortney L. Winn, The Bookish Box is thrilled to announce our August Bookish Box Exclusive Luxe Edition, Vesselless!

Book Synopsis:

Cortney L. Winn’s sensational debut Vesselless is an addictive enemies-to-lovers romance following the heir to a fantasy kingdom, and the seductive spirit sent to claim her soul—perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent.

“I’ve seen monsters, Nizzara, and you are not one of them. A little beast maybe, but not a monster.”

Nizzara, reluctant heir to the Kingdom of Zarr, has always been able to perceive spirits better than the average caster. When she enters a deadly tournament to escape her betrothal, she's determined to win without succumbing to the addictive spirit magic she channels, or the unnerving darkness growing within her. But finding herself outmatched, Nizzara must face her fear of power and team up with Dagen—an enemy who is half-ghost and all charm—to survive the tournament.

Dagen, the last King of Zarr, was killed by Nizzara’s father ten years ago. Now a half-ghost—able to phase between his human and spirit form—he is stuck in another realm, hunting wretched souls for the god of death. When his keeper offers him a chance to reclaim his freedom in exchange for Nizzara’s soul, Dagen takes the deal.

There’s only one catch: she must give it to him freely by the tournament’s end, or his own soul is forfeit.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Vesselless is a spellbinding fantasy of magic and intrigue — and a tantalizing slow burn that will have you hooked until the very last page.

August Darkly Book Selection:

In collaboration with Scarlett St. Clair, The Darkly Box is thrilled to announce our August Darkly Box Exclusive Luxe Edition, Terror at the Gates!

** It is recommended that you visit our Trigger Warnings Page!**

Book Synopsis:

Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.

Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he’s always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn’t sure he can protect her from what’s to come.

Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat—to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.

Why we love Terror at the Gates:

📿Urban Fantasy, but Make it Neo-Noir
📿Steamy Slow Burn
📿Frienemies-to-Lovers
📿Mafia Family Vibes
📿Wicked Plot Twist
