Publisher's summary

For Talia, death is only the beginning of survival....

When a tragic accident cuts my lonely life short, instead of heaven or hell, I’m stolen away to a terrifying city of warring shifter clans—the Nimali and the Fai. The Nimali mistake me for their missing princess. Her father, the dragon king, is identical to my own. But in this world, he dotes on me with the love and affection I always craved. And in a land with no tolerance for outsiders, feigning amnesia and impersonating shifter royalty may be the only way to survive.

For Ryin, falling in love is the worst kind of betrayal....

As a Fai warrior in captivity, I'm forced to serve my enemy even as I plot their destruction. The lost princess returned much changed; now the heat between us crackles irresistibly. While helping her heal using my magical talents, I begin to question what I thought I knew about the Nimali. She remains as forbidden as ever, but she also might be the key to freedom for me and my people.

Caught between two enemy factions balancing on the knife-blade of annihilation, our lies are the only thing keeping us alive, but they just might be our undoing.

Critic reviews

“Penelope offers a wonderfully in-depth exploration of their characters, forcing readers to reevaluate the dichotomy of hero and villain. The romance blossoms organically against a background that skillfully mixes high fantasy elements with an urban post-apocalypse. Readers will be eager to see what comes next.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A master class in fantasy world-building.” – TIME Magazine

“L. Penelope’s page-turning apocalyptic epic Song of Blood & Stone does what fantasy does best: provide epic plots, epic world-building and epic myth. A rewarding, carefully crafted read.” – The Root

Black Girl Fantasy is a Vibe!

Imaginarium Book Con here I come! I am trying to get through my list of fantasy books in preparation for an upcoming fantasy book con. I'm so glad I tried this author 1st. This story was fast paced, had dragons, hot smex, and magic. The narrators really brought these characters to life. This book was too short, and I wanted so much more. So glad the series continues with a new couple. I am so here for it.

Distracting narration

Enjoyable story but I found the male narrator choppy and strange. Hard to stay invested. It helped to increase the speed to 1.35
