# Terror at the Gates by Scarlett St. Clair (Paperback)

**The first in a seductive new romantasy series from #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair. Banished and betrayed, Lilith rises from the shadows of her past to claim forbidden power--and a destiny written in blood and desire.**

_She is the beginning and the end._  
_She is peace and chaos._  
_She is terror knocking at the gates._  
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over...until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.  
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.  
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat--to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.  
Perfect for fans of:  
  

-   Frenemies to lovers
-   Slow burn but the sexual tension is...toe-curling
-   He falls first
-   Neo-noir mafia fantasy vibes

  
**"In this sumptuous and steamy dark fantasy, bestseller St. Clair reimagines Eden as an intensely patriarchal, über-religious society... Determined to make her own way, (Lilith) relies on her power over men's desire to steal the things she needs--but, for some reason, gorgeous Zahariev is constantly in her path and swooping in to clean up her messes... A promising series launch." - _Publishers Weekly_**
