The second book in my haul is This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. "Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading."

The third book in my book haul is The Lives of Saints by Leigh Bardugo.

"These tales include miracles and martyrdoms from familiar saints like Sankta Lizabeta of the Roses and Sankt Ilya in Chains, to the strange and obscure stories of Sankta Ursula, Sankta Maradi, and the Starless Saint."

The fourth book in my haul is This Cursed Light by Emily Thiede. This is book #2 in the Last Finetra series.

The sixth book in my haul is The Crimson Fortress by Akshaya Raman. This is book #2 in the Ivory Key Duology.

"In this thrilling, action-packed sequel and conclusion to the critically acclaimed Ivory Key duology, royal siblings Vira, Ronak, Kaleb, and Riya battle vengeful enemies, centuries-old mysteries, and their own personal demons in order to save their country from ruin."

The seventh book in my haul is The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent. This is book #1 in the Crowns of Nyaxia series.

This is the December Adult OwlCrate book. For the OwlCrate edition, check out my book review and mini unboxing. I will be reading this with my OwlCrate friends for the read-along, around February 1st-8th.

"Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart."
