Thrill of Fear

The Harpies takes you into a dark, dangerous world where honour and loyalty are more important than love. Get ready for suspense, spice, and angst in this dark twist to the classic Romeo and Juliet as you follow one couple's fight to break a century of obligations forged by the darkest of sins.

KATE
I have always tried to be a good girl and live up to my family's impossible expectations. Never ask questions about my birth father, never discuss the dark-clad men haunting my dreams, and never go to the exclusive clubs owned by the Lawrences.

When I meet Jack Lawrence at a speed dating event, he's everything my mother warned me about – everything I've been denied my whole life. Fate has given me a chance to explore the forbidden, but how was I supposed to know our relationship would start a war?

JACK
A century ago, my great-grandfather got himself involved with the Russian mafia. Since then, everyone in my world has been bound to a lifetime of rituals and rules. Normal life is unachievable for anyone in the Harpyiai order because our training robs us of humanity and distorts our view of consent and love.

I'm destined to be my father's successor, heir to his fortune and the Harpyiai castle, but I've had enough of following rules. When I stumble upon a dark-haired beauty who's as drawn to me as I am to her, everything I've been told I can't have is suddenly within reach.

I must have her – even if she's forbidden.

The only question is, can I keep her safe in my corrupted world?
