She's already broken, but this mission may be what shatters her.
A young guardian bearing the burden of a kingdom torn to shreds, Iryana works tirelessly from the shadows to keep her clan's outpost standing. After the beasts ravaged the lands and the gangs claimed what was left, the survivors can only cling to the scattered settlements, fighting desperately to hold their borders.
But they're losing.
Her clan’s only hope lies beyond their brittle walls: the ancient magic of the metal-wells, and the ruthless military gangs that control them. Iryana has no choice but to infiltrate a nearby brigade, earn their volatile trust, and see her magic forged in one of their closely guarded wells.
Unfortunately, surviving among liars and killers proves to be harder and more mystifying than expected.
Their cruel and calculating leader sees value in her when no one else does. The bitter soldier with haunted eyes and a devastating smile wants her gone but can’t seem to stop saving her life. As each passing day brings her deeper within the brigade, two devastating paths forward present themselves and her deep-rooted cracks become impossible to conceal.
Iryana came to the fortress to save her family—she never expected someone would try to save her.
Perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and The Serpent & The Wings of Night, Because the Beasts Came is the first book in a romantic fantasy duology within the Wells of Istri world. It features slow burn, enemies to lovers, emotional healing, dark fantasy, fantasy romance, and action and adventure. Full of aching tension, angst, a unique and dangerous world full of monsters, and a strong but heroine torn between duty, desire, and survival, you won't be able to put this book down.
