Summary of THE EMPEROR’S ENEMY!
An all-new dark and twisty romantasy duet from Jasmine Mas, bestselling author of Blood of Hercules, with a delectably unhinged enemies-to-lovers arc that’s set in a world full of dangerous magic, rebellion, and vicious rivalry.

WHEN THE HUNTER IS HUNTED, WHO BECOMES PREY?

The Emperor’s Enemy
She is Zora Ravenal: Knight Mage, Bear of the North, and only hope of her people against the ravenous empire.

The Hunter’s Mark
He is Aleksander the Sadistic: divinely ordained Emperor and Royal Mage, hellbent on capturing Zora once and for all. The Emperor will use everything and everyone in his power to possess her, even Tarantula, the deadliest assassin in the empire’s arsenal. But there is something they don’t realize— Zora is hunting them back…

The Most Dangerous Game
For each, this obsession might prove their downfall.

Who will bend the knee first?

Attendees will get the chance to win a themed prize pack with a signed galley, custom embroidered hat, and a Swoon City gift card (woohoo!)
