HEIR OF ILLUSION Book Launch with Madeline Taylor
Hear from Madeline as she breaks down the story lavish with serpentine shadow magic and twisty court intrigue. Heir of Illusion follows Ivy, a fae assassin with the power of illusion, as she develops a tenuous alliance with a dangerous and alluring reaper in an attempt to escape the clutches of the King who controls her. Originally self-published in March 2025, Heir of Illusion has exploded onto the romantasy scene and we can’t wait to gather with Madeline to celebrate her success!

ABOUT HEIR OF ILLUSION
A fae assassin with the power of illusion, sworn to a king she despises. An enigmatic grim reaper, searching for freedom. Enemies collide in an unlikely alliance, brimming with desire and destruction.
The stunning first edition hardcover will feature sprayed edges, designed endpapers, a custom-stamped case, and a premium dust jacket with metallic shine—while supplies last!
She is not the pet they tamed.
Blessed with the power of illusion, Iverson Pomeroy has many tricks up her sleeve. However, none of them are a match for the enchanted collar at her throat that keeps her bound as assassin and mistress to a ruthless king. Forced to play the role of his obedient pet, she plots in secret to destroy him and claim the freedom she has always been denied.
She is the beast they let inside.
When a mysterious reaper, Thorne, arrives in the city with his sights set on the same weapon Ivy needs—the only artifact that can remove her collar—she must decide how far she’s willing to go.
And she will show no mercy.
With a tenuous alliance tying them together, Ivy learns there is more to her reluctant companion than meets the eye... He sparks her curiosity and ignites dangerous desires within her. But will the secrets they harbor destroy each other? And does it even matter, when anyone who so much as touches Thorne dies?
Tropes: Enemies to lovers / shadow daddy / female assassin / who did this to you / unlikely alliance / he falls first / banter / touch her and die / slow burn / morally gray MMC
