Anya, a gifted Healer, hides a single Reaper eye beneath her eyepatch, proof of her forbidden death magic.

 

When Zarek, a Crown Guardian, discovers her Healing, he's duty-bound to escort her to the dying prince, whether she wills it or not.

 

As they journey toward the capital, danger mounts, secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested. In a kingdom that would execute her for what she is, can Anya risk revealing her truth—and her heart—to the very man sworn to uphold the laws that condemn her?

 

And how can Zarek follow his desire, knowing the weight of what he carries?
