Synopsis:
Set in a corrupt surveillance state ruled by the masked elite, this true enemies-to-lovers dystopian romance that’s Conform meets V For Vendetta follows a mercenary who botches the assassination of the president’s son and ends up forced to marry him.
The first thing you’ll learn in New Found Haven is that mercy doesn’t exist. The second thing is that, from the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slums of the Boundary, the Veyra are always watching.
The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it: Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.
The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.
Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he’s the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he’s entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he’s forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the government’s brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride as lethal as she is unwilling.
Shadera Kael is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her tied to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.
Their union is no love story—it’s a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating each other or burning the city to the ground together.
In a world where passion has consequences and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.

Review:
I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
First, I can't express how excited I was when I got approved for this ARC!
First, I can't express how excited I was when I got approved for this ARC!
I'm sorry, I know this isn't about me... on to the review..
"Beautiful things are often built on ugly foundations."
Daggermouth feels like the ugly road we're already on.
Greyson is controlled and precise, unraveling in silence under the weight of power. While Shadera is lethal and defiant, forged into a weapon, unwilling to be anything else until survival forces her to change.
What happens between them isn’t just romance; it’s an ideology clashed with instinct. Trauma competes with desire.
Watching them shift from enemies to uneasy allies and then to something more dangerous felt like seeing a war unfold in slow motion.
Every interaction is charged. Every moment seems ready to explode... The writing hits hard. You feel every emotion and the overwhelming weight of injustice.
Then there’s the ending. It didn’t just surprise me...it shattered me, leaving me to figure out what TF just happened!
Visually, it felt cinematic, full of moments that need to be seen as much as read. It screams adaptation. I can't wait to see this on the big screen! Trust me, I will be there!
4.5
