Discover your next romantasy obsession with The Beasts We Bury by D. L. Taylor. In a world where dark magic hovers on the horizon, two teens must decide how far they will go to break the system that has them trapped.

Mancella, heir to the throne, emerged from the mysterious Broken Citadel with a strange and violent magic: she can summon an army of animals, but only by killing them first.

Silver is a charming thief who plans to manipulate Mancella in order to pull off a once-in-a-lifetime heist.

When her father decides that Mance should kill a human in order to create an unbeatable spirit army, Mance realizes how much of a pawn she is in his world. As the deception and bloodshed continue to mount, Mance and Silver find themselves forced to make choices that will change the realm forever.

D.L. Taylor is an attorney by trade. She's worked in criminal defense and civil non-profit law, but writing has always had a special hold on her heart. Though she hails from the sunny lands of California, she married a Midwestern boy and ended up settling down outside Chicago. She has three kids, two cats, and minimal sanity, but in the quiet hours before dawn she likes to write about magic, mischief, and moral quandaries. The Beasts We Bury is her debut.
