The first in an all-new fantasy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair. In this biting, feminist retelling of Lilith's story, Lilith will rise from the ashes of her former life to destroy the ancient power that stole everything she loves.
She is the beginning and the end.
She is peace and chaos.
She is terror knocking at the gates.
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families as well as the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he's always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn't sure he can protect her from what's to come.
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realizes Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat―to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.
The series
In a world where sanctity is a weapon and rebellion bleeds through the cracks of faith, Blood of Lilith opens with a tale that is as intimate as it is epic. At its heart is Lilith Leviathan, a woman born to a legacy she refuses to bow to, carving out her existence in Nineveh, a city pulsing with forbidden magic, rigid dogma, and the simmering tensions between its five ruling families. What begins as survival through quiet defiance soon draws her into the orbit of Zahariev Zareth, a man whose influence is as dangerous as his allure, and whose presence threatens to unravel the fragile walls she has built around herself.
Read full series description
The series thrives on its contrasts: sacred myths entangled with profane ambitions, the quiet strength of a heroine battling inner scars against the thunder of a city teetering on the edge of chaos. Through lush, shadow‑drenched storytelling, it explores how love can become both sanctuary and snare, how power corrupts even as it liberates, and how the past never truly loosens its grip.
This is dark fantasy romance reimagined, atmospheric, politically charged, and unafraid to confront the cost of defiance. In Blood of Lilith, every choice cuts deep, every alliance is barbed, and the line between salvation and ruin is one you cross without ever realizing it.
