My next series, Empire of Ruin, begins with the prequel, Daughter of Sin, coming in 2026.
We’re headed to Nefari, a city divided by seven mafia families, each descended from one of the original deadly sins and ranked like pieces on a chessboard.
If you’re ready for my darkest series yet, then you can preorder your signed copy exclusively at:
rubyroe.co.uk/products/preorder-prequel
and receive character artwork, a bookmark and sticker with every physical preorder.
Once upon a time, a saint fell for a sinner…
Saint Severo is the most revered fixer in Nefari city. She’s the woman the rules call when a problem needs to disappear.
Marlowe Reign is the assassin she loved. The one she exiled fifty years ago to keep her alive.
When the Capas are found slaughtered in their own fortress, the city edges towards war. There’s no heir. No order.
And the deleter? None other than Saint’s ex-lover.
Saint needs a confession. Marlowe wants to hang.
Neither are saying why.
Three days in a dungeon torturing the woman who still tastes like everything she lost will break anyone’s willpower.
But Marlowe didn't do it and she won't deny it either.
Someone far bigger than them both is pulling the strings.
The last thing Saint wants is to fall for the woman she has to delete… but the body remembers what the heart tried to bury.
To save her, Saint must betray everything she's served.
To love her, she'll have to let the world burn.
To keep her secret, one of them has to die.
A confession. A reckoning. And a debt that can only be paid in blood.
A deliciously dark sapphic mafia romantasy with captor-x-captive, second-chance love, a fae assassin, a vampire fixer, mu rd3red royals, and a whole lot of "I'm the only one who gets to torture the truth out of her." 18+ only.
