The Cruelty of Day - Ashley Bresee

*Comes with a signed bookplate, art print and bookmark*

Dion Rhodea never let himself consider what he had to lose.

As the budding prodigy of Helia’s infamous Rogues Guild—and estranged heir to the Rhodea family seat—Dion had lived a life as full of privilege as it was hardship.

His vacant moral compass earned him a long, tolerant leash from the guild. A warm home welcomed him after every triumphant—or battered—return. Contracts and money flowed freely, too, and allowed Dion to build the life he had only ever dreamed of.

But when a merciless act of retribution rips away his only source of true peace, a course is chartered that leaves Dion forever changed.

This is the story of how a broken man earned a brutal scar and lost his heart in the process.
