The explosive and highly anticipated sequel to the bestselling phenomenon Daggermouth and conclusion to The Heart Duology!

Praise for Daggermouth:

'Daggermouth had me in a chokehold! Shadera Kael is bound to be your next favorite morally grey heroine. Impossible stakes, sizzling writing and plot twists you’ll never see coming . . . this book has everything you want in a dark dystopian' – Sable Sorensen, USA Today bestselling author of Dire Bound

'The range of emotions and development of these characters is stellar, and the punchy dialogue hits in every. Single. Chapter. If this book series isn't optioned, I'll be shocked. It's that good' – BuzzFeed

'Daggermouth immediately sucked me in and held me captive until the last page. This is THE adult dystopian I have been searching for – excellent, intimate prose combined with a heart-pounding TRUE enemies to lovers we all crave. H. M. Wolfe is leading us into the next dystopian wave we've been desperate for since The Hunger Games' – Tina Mars, author of This Wretched Alchemy

'An exhilarating ride from start to finish, Daggermouth is a layered, complex, and oftentimes brutal depiction of a world where secrets, wealth, and power are currency. Every character is fully drawn and leaps off the page, and the plot centres around shifting alliances and twists that had me gasping! I ate this one up . . . An absolute masterpiece' – Keshe Chow, author of For No Mortal Creature

'The dystopia I’ve been waiting for my whole life. A steely illustration of oppression and brewing rebellion populated with beautifully-layered characters, knife-sharp dialogue, and alluring romances that left me transfixed. Daggermouth’s victory isn’t simply that it excels in every element but pulls them together to quietly, fiercely assert humanity through rage, despair, and the systems of power determined to crush them all' – Shalini Abeysekara, author of This Monster of Mine

'For readers craving a thrilling and beautifully dark enemies to lovers romance set in a world as resilient as the characters. Daggermouth is one of the best dystopian romances I've ever read and I'm eagerly awaiting the second book' – Clio Evans, author of Broken Beginnings

'Wolfe’s writing reads like a song full of motivation and pure feminine rage. A dystopian, at its heart, is meant to reflect the atrocities of our real world. Daggermouth does this and more, urging you to sit back and think. Hope is found in the darkest places, and these are the sort of stories we turn to when we feel like we can’t keep going. If you pick up one more book this year, it should be this one' – Mikayla D Hornedo, author of Blood & Brujas

'Daggermouth is intensely thought-provoking, pushing you to view the world with healthy skepticism while examining your own beliefs and reality. Its layered, timely plot and raw romances make for a gripping read, perfect for fans of authentic antiheroes. A must-read!' – Nelle Nikole, author of Rising

'TRANSFIXED . . . I could not put this book down' – Reader Review

'So much rage, pain, love, hate, growth and evolution' – Reader Review

'All the emotions I experienced while reading The Hunger Games but MORE' – Reader Review

'Dark, legendary, and has the makings to incite a revolution' – Reader Review

'Like finally waking up and feeling seen . . . heard . . . validated' – Reader Review

'Wolfe knows exactly when to gut-punch you with a reveal' – Reader Review

'So heartbreakingly beautiful'– Reader Review

Python will either irrevocably destroy me or destroy me indefinitely (let’s be real it’s most likely both) but either way I will be destroyed and let me tell you… I don’t wanna be saveddddd 🙏🙏🙏‼️‼️

OKAY..... QUESTIONS


What do we think will happen now?
The title is Python. Is Callie really dead? He was shot in the head, but could it have been one of the bullets that Jaeger mentioned that look like blood and give off death or is he really dead?


After Brooker, I don't trust anything on the page.
