In the shadows of a decaying metropolis, Ripley Meadows hides a power that could reshape the world. While the elite live in luxury, Ripley and her younger sister, Pepper, scavenge for scraps in the Fringe—a lawless wasteland abandoned by the government. To protect her sister, Ripley has spent years suppressing her magic, knowing that the corrupt regime’s Acquisition Specialists hunt those with her rare gifts. When starvation forces Ripley to seek help from an estranged relative, a cold-blooded betrayal lands her in the sights of Agent Malphas, a sadistic hunter who smells of juniper and leaves a trail of psychological wreckage in his wake. Just as the darkness closes in, the sisters are rescued by Dominic Salazar, the battle-scarred leader of a supernatural resistance movement. As Ripley and Dominic flee through subterranean ruins, an intense, dangerous bond forms between them. But the rebellion is fractured by moles, and the price of safety is steeper than Ripley ever imagined. When Pepper is captured and subjected to the regime’s horrific processing, Ripley must decide: will she remain a victim of the shadows, or will she unleash the god-tier fury within and burn the city to the ground? From Dawn and Peril is a visceral, high-stakes dark fantasy for fans of grit, gore, and forbidden romance.
