Perfect for fans of Saltburn, For the Wolf, and Wuthering Heights, Tenderly, I Am Devoured is a moody, monstrously Gothic romantasy in which a young woman must bind herself to a dangerous underworld god to save her family's legacy - and herself - from ruin.

Expelled from her prestigious boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lark returns home in disgrace to discover her family on the brink of financial ruin. Desperate to save them, she accepts a marriage of convenience ... to Therion, an underworld god worshipped by Lark's isolated coastal hometown.

Her only hope is to seek help from Alastair Felimath, the brilliant, arrogant boy who was her first heartbreak, and his alluring older sister, Camille.

As the trio delves into the folklore of the gods, Lark falls under the spell of the Felimath siblings. Ensnared by a fervent romance, they perform a hedonistic ritual to repair the connection between Lark and her bridegroom.

Instead, they draw the ire of something much darker, which seeks to destroy Therion - and Lark as well.

Book Review

Tenderly, I Am Devoured
by Lyndall Clipstone

by Yasmin Baker, Jun 2025

Tenderly, I Am Devoured is an enchanting gothic romance fantasy. Woven with elements of horror, a sapphic romance and folklore, this story is mysterious, dark and intriguing. It follows Lark, an orphan raised by her two older brothers. When she is expelled from her prestigious school and returns to her debt-ridden childhood home, Lark finds out that her brothers have arranged a marriage of convenience for her. But this marriage is not to just any ordinary man: Lark is betrothed to Therion, a sea god.

When the wedding ceremony is interrupted, Lark is saved by Alastair and his sister, Camille. The three must unite to face looming dangers and navigate an entangled romance. The relationship between Lark and the two siblings is tender and haunting. At times this is a slow burn, but with great world-building and strong atmospheric descriptions, I stayed hooked until the end.

Tenderly, I Am Devoured is a perfect blend of horror and young adult fiction. It reminded me of House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig and is perfect for fans of Aquaman or A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid. For ages 14+.
