25 of the Month's Best New Romance Books

A murderous boy king takes a new bride each night, then kills them, but one woman plans to fight back. She enchants and beguiles him in order to survive, but in the process begins to realize that he is not the monster she thought he was. Renée Ahdieh's The Wrath and the Dawn is what Publishers Weekly calls "a potent page-turner of intrigue and romance."
