The Emperor's Enemy (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Dark Fantasy Romance (Original) (Unsurvivable Love Duet #1) by Jasmine Mas (Pre-Order September 15th 2026)

When the hunter becomes the hunted, who will be left standing?

Zora Ravenal is the Bear of the North—a powerful Knight Mage and the last hope of her people against a ruthless empire. She has spent years fighting to protect her homeland, but now the Emperor himself has marked her as his prey.

Aleksander the Sadistic is the divinely ordained Emperor and Royal Mage, and he will stop at nothing to capture Zora. Determined to possess the woman who has defied him at every turn, he unleashes the empire’s deadliest assassin, Tarantula, to hunt her down.

But the Emperor has made one crucial mistake.

Zora is hunting them, too.

As rebellion threatens to ignite, dangerous magic collides with vicious rivalry, and an obsession neither side can control begins to take hold. In a game where enemies can become allies—and desire can be just as deadly as magic—Zora and Aleksander will have to decide how far they are willing to go to win.

Because when two hunters refuse to become prey, someone has to bend the knee first.

From bestselling author Jasmine Mas, author of Blood of Hercules, comes an all-new dark and twisty romantasy duet filled with dangerous magic, rebellion, deadly assassins, obsessive enemies-to-lovers romance, and a deliciously unhinged rivalry.
