But for a soldier and the demon she cannot bear to lose, even love can be a weapon, and survival may demand the ultimate sacrifice.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRome is drowning in shadows. The Vatican's masked enforcers prowl its streets. Demons whisper about broken gods. And Selene Alleva--once called the Butcher of Rome--stands at the center of the storm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly one thing steadies her: Jules Lacroix, soldier, heir, and demon. Together they burn against the dark, their love forged in defiance of everything the Vatican holds sacred. But secrets can cut deeper than a blade, and when betrayal rises and assassins strike from the alleys, Selene and Jules are faced with an impossible choice: save the Rome she swore to protect--or the forbidden love they risked everything for.\u003cb\u003eSophie Clark\u003c\/b\u003e likes to say she writes fantasy featuring wounded girls with sharp edges, charming boys who fall for them anyhow, twisted gods, and other unholy things. She holds a masters degree in international relations, and worked for the Australian Senate before leaving politics for good. When not writing, she is almost invariably reading; when not reading, she’s lavishing affection on her border collie, Indy, and soaking up the wild beauty of her home state of Tasmania, Australia.","brand":"Knopf Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48532168933605,"sku":"NP9780593810767","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780593810767.jpg?v=1773182917","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/merciful-is-the-dark-isbn-9780593810767","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
