Preorder the spicy prequel to Ruby's next mafia vampire/fae series, Empire of Ruin.
Once upon a time, a saint fell for a sinner…
Saint Severo is the most revered fixer in Nefari city. She’s the woman the rulers call when a problem needs to disappear.
Marlowe Reign is the assassin she loved. The one she exiled fifty years ago to keep her alive.
When the Capas are found slaughtered in their own fortress, the city edges towards war. There’s no heir. No order.
And the killer? None other than Saint’s ex-lover.
Saint needs a confession. Marlowe wants to hang.
Neither are saying why.
A night in the dungeon torturing the woman who still tastes like everything she lost will break anyone’s willpower.
But Marlowe didn't do it and she won't deny it either.
Someone far bigger than them both is pulling the strings.
The last thing Saint wants is to fall for the woman she has to execute… but the body remembers what the heart tried to bury.
To save her, Saint must betray everything she's served. To love her, she'll have to let the world burn.
To keep her secret, one of them has to die.
A confession. A reckoning. And a debt that can only be paid in blood.
A deliciously dark sapphic mafia romantasy with captor-x-captive, second-chance love, a fae assassin, a vampire fixer, murdered royals, and a whole lot of "I'm the only one who gets to torture the truth out of her." 18+ only.
*This book has had a title change from Mothers of Sin to Daughter of Sin. Please note this is the same product*

I want to leave more than a five!
Wish I could leave more than a 5* honestly
“This is going to be fun.” Hands down the best quote in the book, and I couldn’t agree more.
I received this book as an ARC and absolutely devoured it in one sitting. As with all things Ruby, I’m always excited to see what she comes up with next. Every time I finish one of her books (I’ve read them all multiple times), I wonder how she’s possibly going to top it. And every single time, she delivers. This book is no exception.
How did she manage to have me on the edge of my seat and completely glued to this in only 100 plus pages!? The only downside of this book? I wish it were 300 plus pages longer. One thing is for sure, Nefari City is going to be SO much fun, and I already can’t wait to see how this story unfolds.
If you’ve read Ruby’s books before (and if you haven’t, start now, you’re welcome), you probably have a favorite couple. I actually have two: Octavia & Red and Morrigan & Stirling. Those are some BIG dynamics to fill, but after this book? I have a feeling this new couple might just give both of them a run for their money.
I’m keeping this review completely spoiler free, so I’m not saying another word about what happens.
Just strap in (pun absolutely intended 😏). Check your morals at the door, and be prepared to root for some questionable choices. It’s sapphic, it’s unhinged, and somehow Ruby had me questioning whether I’m a saint or a sinner. Either way, I’m okay with it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spicy: 5/5
Intrigue: 5/5
Fun: 5/5
Oh where to begin! I finished this book in 3 hours and this prequel has so much packed into it that it has me on the edge of my seat for this series!💚🖤 Saint and Marlowe’s chemistry is unmatched and unhinged to say the least (definitely giving Red and Octavia a run for their money) and I have read all of Ruby Roe’s books so that is saying something. The level of detail, character/plot development, and the emotions that Ruby’s writing holds makes you forget that you are reading a book and not living in the universe she has created. The spice is WILD in this one from the get go and I am totally here for it!! That knife scene…🤯 I love how each characters POV in every one of her books has the same amount of consideration and detail, making you fall in love with every character in different ways. There has never been a boring character to read and that is rare to find in most books. I love the play on the title of the Dons and their real names in the book, very clever and I love when authors get clever with their books. In true Ruby Roe fashion the end of the book ends with a gnarly cliff hanger(but of course it does)😂 I am very curious to see where Saint and Mercy’s friendship will go from here and to see what other secrets Marlowe is hiding, because I am HOOKED and cannot wait for the first official book in the series to be ready for preorder! I am SO ready to take a deeper dive into Nefari City💚🖤😍
