Menard, Alexis L.: City of Mirth and Malice

Nicolai Attano is ruthless, relentless, deadly. And he's mine. In a city where criminals rule the streets, I fell for the most dangerous of them all. And our love made me a target... Kidnapped by Nicolai's enemies, I wake up in a prison of enchanted stone and steel-a place where only the strongest survive. Dark magic is burning in my blood. And my captors are desperate to take it from me. To leave this place, I must fight in duels and endure deadly challenges. My captors want to push my limits, forcing me to release my power. The other prisoners despise me, and though I don't want to hurt them , I'll do whatever it takes to win. I just have to stay alive until Nicolai gets here... Because I know he is coming for me. That he is tearing Lynchaven apart just to find me. Even in my darkest moment, I can feel him drawing closer. And when we are together again... the city is going to burn.
