Savage City: The Bliss Wars, Book 1

“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)

Savage City is a dystopian, enemies-to-lovers, portal fantasy romance with intriguing worldbuilding and thrilling action.

The truth will kill me, but how can I pull off this lie? When a tragic accident cuts Talia's lonely life short, instead of heaven or hell, she's stolen away to a terrifying city of warring shifter clans—the Nimali and the Fai. The Nimali mistake her for their missing princess whose father, the dragon king, is identical to her own. But in this world, he dotes on her with the love and affection Talia always craved. And in a land with no tolerance for outsiders, feigning amnesia and impersonating shifter royalty may be the only way to survive. The daughter of my greatest enemy has lodged herself within my heart... As a Fai warrior in captivity, Ryin is forced to serve his enemy even as he plots their destruction. The lost princess returned much changed, now the heat between them crackles irresistibly. While helping her heal using his magical talents, he begins to question what he thought he knew about the Nimali. She remains as forbidden as ever, but she also might be the key to freedom for Ryin and his people. Caught between two enemy factions balancing on the knife-blade of annihilation, their lies are the only thing keeping them alive, but they just might be their undoing.
