Gentlest of Wild things. Sarah Underwood. 2024.

Signed by the author. 

On the island of Zakynthos, nothing is more powerful than Desire - love itself, bottled and sold by Leandros, a power-hungry descendent of the god Eros.

When Eirene's beloved sister Phoebe catches Leandros's eye, Eirene is determined to keep her safe. And so she strikes a bargain: if Eirene can complete the tasks Leandros sets her, he will leave her sister alone.

But in Leandros' palatial home, something hungry stalks the night.

And as Eirene grows ever closer to Lamia, the strange, neglected girl kept locked away, they realise that the freedom they yearn for will come at a terrible cost...
