{"product_id":"cruel-is-the-light-1","title":"Cruel Is The Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eA brutal war between demons and humanity has raged across Europe for over a century. At its heart are two elite soldiers: Selene Alleva, a powerful exorcist trained at the prestigious Vatican Academy, and Jules Lacroix, a foot-soldier orphan unparalleled in battle. When their paths collide, distrust is immediate — but so is an unwelcome attraction. To investigate a spate of demon attacks, they form an uneasy alliance: Jules poses as Selene’s estranged fiancé as they venture to the holy halls of Vatican City. There, they uncover a terrible secret that forces both to question everything they believe — including their loyalties, their identities, and where their fates lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"842\" data-start=\"833\"\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003eYoung Adult Romantasy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1072\" data-start=\"1042\"\u003eRecommended age: \u003c\/strong\u003eYoung Adult (14+) - Some reviewers suggest 15+ depending on sensitivity, because of violence, blood \/ mild gore, theological themes, dark magic, and mature emotional content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSophie Clark \u003c\/strong\u003eholds a Master’s degree in International Relations from the University of Melbourne.
