About this book

Twenty years after the barrier between Earth and the Otherworld collapses, Budapest exists as a volatile powder keg of racial tension and political upheaval. Nineteen-year-old Brexley, raised in the shadow of a powerful general, believes she understands the rules of her world until a single night of chaos shatters her reality. Stripped of her status and safety, she is cast into Halálház—the House of Death—a brutal prison where the weak are quickly consumed and survival is a daily war.

In the depths of this nightmare, the social hierarchy dictates that humans are nothing more than prey. To endure, Brexley must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting alliances and lethal combat. Her life becomes inextricably tangled with Warwick Farkas, a legendary fae whose reputation for cruelty and violence precedes him.

As the undisputed ruler of the prison, Warwick is as dangerous as the myths suggest, yet an undeniable, electric pull draws Brexley toward him. Caught between a lethal attraction and the looming threat of The Games, Brexley must decide if Warwick is her greatest enemy or her only hope for survival in a world that demands her destruction.

What readers are saying

Lisa Treon

Excellent series!! Highly recommend.

"This world that Stacey Marie Brown has created is one of the most vivid, exciting places I’ve visited — no, LIVED IN since Anne McCaffrey’s Pern. It drew me in immediately. Her character development brings them to life, and their sharp, witty dialogue endlessly entertains. Fresh, unique, loving, powerful, sometimes horrifying characters always stay true to the storyline. I so enjoy the mix of strong females, larger than life males, and their little sidekicks that have made me laugh and cry. Ms. Brown’s consistency across the different series from the same world thrills as we readers get to live another perspective of the ongoing conflict. (I’m really trying to avoid spoilers here!) One slight criticism — just because I am an editor by trade — the earlier works could have benefitted from better copy editing. Flare/flair, horde/hoard, many misused words like those as well as other minor grammar issues distract from the otherwise excellent writing. Thankfully, fewer of these mistakes show in her later works. I highly recommend Stacey Marie Brown and her many series. Captivating. Addictive. Well worth the time spent living in her world. ["

Not what I expected

"If you like reading about the Fae give this one a try. It's a unique and intriguing spin on the Fae like you've never read before. It lays such a layered, intricate foundation for one heck of a story. This first book is a wild, exciting ride. The only gripe I had was how much Warwick's sex appeal was over the top thrown in on practically every page one he was introduced. It got seriously repetitive but otherwise this was unique and exciting. Great writing, good characters and enough questions to keep you wanting more. ["

Savage Lands is actually Savage- in the best way

"What sticks out to me the most about this series is it manages to be different in a bloated genre. Yeah it uses some of the usual tropes- enemies to lovers (the best trope), heroine that believes she’s human but may not be,etc- but what it does with those tropes is exciting & different. Ive read all of Stacey’s multi book series including Stacey’s Collector series & Darkness series (both are great & take place in the same world/reality as Savage Lands but in a different location & several years earlier), & Savage Lands is top 2 now for me along with her Darkness series. She just knows how to immerse you & keep you immersed, which is key. The action is nonstop. The heroines of her series, including Brexley in Savage Lands, are complex & all different from each other yet each has a darkness, intensity, & strength to them I love. I love that Brexley is able to adapt & go toe to toe with whoever she meets. And this is a true slow burn. I hate when authors say their series is a slow burn but then their characters are gushing ‘I love yous’ at each other 2 books in to a 5+ book series. That is not a slow burn. But Stacey never lies about that. If you are like me you lose interest fast over insta love when it’s a long, many book story. The prison setting of this book is fascinating. You can’t stop reading. It’s a great way to introduce the character to the world outside what she’s known her whole life while bringing in a list of fascinating secondary characters- a few are hilarious & all are more than they seem. Stacey usually includes a little humor in her books, this one is no exception, & I love that. It sprinkles some lightness over the edge of your seat action. You will love this book if you love enemies to lovers, legit slow burns, mysteries surrounding the heroine that actually keep you guessing versus being predictable, and fast paced plot that includes fights & violence, great world building, & political intrigue involving fae & humans. Stacey also is sex positive & tolerant, so prudes or anyone w/ a stick up their you know what need not read. ["

Read entire series (review) no spoilers

"So the books are ok. There is a lot of things that are supposed to be a mystery or a “who did it” moment but as a reader you can figure those things out by the first book but they drag out till the 5th and 6th. This was extremely annoying. All the books constantly have half chapters with sub charters talking about what their wearing or some sex jokes which would be fine if the story line itself wasn’t been dragged out. the main character is supposed to be this great power but you keep reading expecting to experience this at some point but it never happens. The ending of the series leaves you feeling unfulfilled. It sad I like the characters but there is just something missing to make this a series I would recommend or want to read again. ["
