Give the Dark My Love

Give the Dark My Love #1
by Beth Revis
Give the Dark My Love (Give the Dark My Love #1) by Beth Revis
Unrated

A young alchemist turns to dark magic when a deadly plague sweeps through her homeland in this epic fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis.

Seventeen-year-old Nedra Brysstain leaves her home in the rural, northern territories of Lunar Island to attend the prestigious Yugen Academy with only one goal in mind: master the trade of medicinal alchemy. A scholarship student matriculating with the children of Lunar Island's wealthiest and most powerful families, Nedra doesn't quite fit in with the other kids at Yugen.

Until she meets Greggori "Grey" Astor. Grey is immediately taken by the brilliant and stubborn Nedra, who he notices is especially invested in her studies. And that's for a good reason: a deadly plague has been sweeping through the North, and it's making its way toward the cities. With her family's life - and the lives of all of Lunar Island's citizens - on the line, Nedra is determined to find a cure for the plague.

Grey and Nedra grow close, but as the sickness spreads and the body count rises, Nedra becomes desperate to find a cure. Soon, she finds herself diving into alchemy's most dangerous corners - and when she turns to the most forbidden practice of all, necromancy, even Grey might not be able to pull her from the darkness.

Beth Revis

Beth Revis didn’t set out to map the stars—but somewhere between the quiet foothills of North Carolina and the ink-soaked pages of her notebooks, she started building galaxies. Her stories don’t just visit new worlds; they confront the fragile, often volatile, human emotions that echo through them. Whether it’s a spacecraft filled with secrets or a love story wrapped in cosmic stakes, her work leans into that tension—of survival, of connection, of choosing what’s right when the stars don't align.

She broke into the spotlight with Across the Universe, a science fiction novel that unfolded like a locked-room mystery aboard a generational ship. Readers were drawn in not just by the chilling premise, but by the way she explored trust, power, and what happens when people are cut off from the world they knew. The trilogy that followed cemented her as a voice unafraid to tackle big questions inside imaginative frameworks.

Raised in the South, Revis once taught high school before trading lesson plans for star maps. Her background in literature and education subtly weaves into her work, which often carries the urgency and grit of coming-of-age stories—only hers happen in dying planets or crumbling empires. She’s since written across age ranges and genres, including time-travel romances, dark fairy tale retellings, and most recently, a high-stakes space opera series with romantic tension at its core.

Beth Revis writes the kind of science fiction that doesn’t lose sight of the people in the middle of it all. Her characters are often messy, brave, and unsure—and that’s exactly what makes their journeys stick with readers long after the last page.
