Perfect for fans of Saltburn, For the Wolf, and Wuthering Heights, Tenderly, I Am Devoured is a moody, monstrously Gothic romantasy in which a young woman must bind herself to a dangerous chthonic demon to save her family's legacy-and herself-from ruin.
Expelled from her prestigious boarding school following a violent incident, eighteen-year-old Lark returns home in disgrace to discover her family on the point of financial ruin. Desperate to save them, she accepts a marriage of convenience... to Therion, a cthonic god worshipped by Lark's isolated coastal hometown.
But when her betrothal goes horribly wrong, Lark begins to vanish from the mortal realm. Her only hope is to seek help from Alastair Felimath- the brilliant, arrogant boy who was her first heartbreak and the son of the family responsible for her financial plight. Along with his sister, Camille, the trio delve into the folklore of the local gods, performing a bacchanalia with hopes the hedonistic ritual will repair the connection between Lark and her bridegroom. Instead, they draw the ire of something much darker, which seeks to destroy Therion-and Lark as well.
