Prince Elician is a Giver. He can heal any wound
and bring the dead back to life. He also can’t be killed, so is cursed to watch
his country wage an endless war.
Reapers can kill with a single touch. And when
one attacks Prince Elician by a hotly-contested battlefield, but fails, the
Reaper expects a terrible punishment. Instead, Elician offers him a chance at a
new life and a new name on enemy territory. The Reaper hadn’t realized he could
ever find something, or someone, to make life worth living—until Elician. Yet
the prince is unaware that his kindness is part of his enemy’s plan, until
danger engulfs in turn.
As the pieces of a deadly plot come together,
featuring abduction, treachery and forbidden magic, tensions escalate at court
and on the battlefield. The fires of conflict burst into new flame—but can
those who wield the powers of life and death find peace?
A POWERFUL AND RICHLY-IMAGINED TALE OF LOVE, WAR,
MAGIC AND YEARNING.

"[A] rip-roaring queer romantic fantasy. The delicious romance and
thorny court intrigue keep the pages turning, and a clever late plot twist
shocks. This hits all the right notes." —Publishers Weekly starred
