This electrifying, gritty fantasy from debut author Hana Lee takes a royal messenger on a high-speed chase across a climate-ravaged wasteland, featuring motorcycles, monsters, and magic.
Jin-Lu has the most dangerous job in the wasteland. She’ s a magebike courier, one of the few who venture outside the domed cities on motorcycles powered by magic. Every day, she braves the wasteland’ s dangers— deadly storms, roving marauders, and territorial beasts— to deliver her wares.
Her most valuable cargo? A prince’ s love letters addressed to Yi-Nereen, a princess desperate to escape the clutches of her abusive family and soon-to-be husband. Jin, desperately in love with both her and the prince, can’ t refuse Yi-Nereen’ s plea for help. The two of them flee across the wastes, pursued by Yi-Nereen’ s furious father, her scheming betrothed, and a bounty hunter with mysterious powers.
A storm to end all storms is brewing and dark secrets about the heritability of magic are coming to light. Jin’ s heart has led her into peril before, but this time she may not find her way back.
