'Tell me. Tell me you burn for me like I burn for you' A Tongue so Sweet and Deadly is the first in an epic, spicy, slow-burn romantasy series from Sophia St Germain, perfect for fans of Gild, The Cruel Prince, The Veiled Kingdom, and Sarah J Maas. ___ Half-Fae Elessia could have had everything. Literally. Since her magic allows her to compel anyone to do her bidding by merely looking into their eyes, the world was at her feet. But after a tragic accident, she is thrown into the Fae king's dungeons and forced to swear a blood oath to him, binding her to his service. Five years later, she's living among humans in Ellow and has carved out a life for herself. Then the king finally comes to collect his debt: he demands Elessia infiltrate the upcoming election in Ellow and determine whether the current human regent, Loche, is involved in the strange things happening in the land of Fae. With the promise of freedom from the king's claws dangled in front of her, Elessia is determined to complete her mission under the watch of the sullen Fae guard, Merrick, assigned to monitor her. As Elessia grows closer to Loche, the secretive regent, secrets begin to unravel and political tensions heighten, and soon she must make the choice between her own freedom and that of a nation. ___ Readers can't get enough!

Autorentext

Sophia St. Germain has always loved reading fantasy and romance. She writes dark, high fantasy romances and is a big fan of found family, enemies to lovers, strong but flawed FMCs, and the morally gray MMCs who love them.

Originally from Sweden, Sophia moved to the US in 2019 but has also lived in France, Norway, and Belgium. She uses influences from her travels and the different cultures she's experienced in her books and characters.

Sophia works in tech by day and writes and reads by night (and, let's be honest, very early mornings).
