‘An incredibly impressive debut combining all that is best of the romantasy genre into something new, brutally violent, sizzling with tension, and utterly addictive to read.

This is how you do romantasy!’

‘Tension, angst, a delicious slow burn – I devoured this book.

My top read this year!’

Geneva Lee, New York Times bestselling author

__________________________________________

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM OF SECRECY, BETRAYAL AND NO MERCY.

Ivy Pomeroy should be untouchable. Blessed with the power of illusion, she has many tricks up her sleeve, yet none are a match for the enchanted necklace that keeps her bound as an assassin to a ruthless king. Forced to play the role of obedient pet, she plots in secret to destroy him and break free of his hold.

When a mysteriously handsome Reaper from Death’s Isle arrives hunting the same weapon Ivy needs, the enemies collide in a reluctant alliance brimming with tension. But as their search uncovers whispers of a dark power that threatens the entire kingdom, it becomes clear that nothing on the Isle of Illusion is what it seems.

Undeniable attraction tangles with deadly secrets, and Ivy’s fight for freedom soon becomes a battle of survival. Through it all, she must never forget that though she may wear a collar, she is not the pet they tamed.

She is the beast they let inside.

And she will show no mercy.

‘This was like if Aelin and Rhysand had a book‘

‘This book has made me remember why I love being a reader‘

‘BookTok was right – this one’s amazing!‘

‘This is, without a doubt, one of the best romantasy debuts I have ever read‘

‘This book had everything: fantastic banter, a unique world . . . and a magic system that felt fresh and original‘

‘The pacing is incredible. The plot, the characters, the world. The WRITING. It was all amazing. I have no notes, other than I need more’

‘Holy smokes this book. I went in expecting vibes and fantasy spice and ended up crying, gasping and furiously whispering “what the actual ****?” at 2 a.m.’


‘Criminally underrated doesn’t even begin to cover it’


‘I have no words. I am unwell. I am blown away by this book. Truly may be the best book I have read TO DATE. Not of this year . . . ever’

‘Addictive, Intense, and Deliciously Dangerous. Heir of Illusion had me in a chokehold from the very first page’


‘The tension was palpable, the banter had ME BLUSHING and just when I knew what was about it happen IT DIDN’T!! My favorite‘


‘Heir of Illusion by Madeleine Taylor is a fast-paced thrill from start to finish. If you’re into high-stakes fantasy with gods, fae, mortals, and a healthy dose of magic-fueled mayhem, this book delivers in spades’


‘And yes, you can count on me to buy multiple editions of this book in every language. It was indeed THAT good‘
