A battle-weary prince meets a reluctant assassin. But could their bond end their war?
SEPARATED BY WAR, UNITED BY FATE. . .
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. When one attacks Prince Elician near 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. Cat, as Elician calls him, hadn’ t realized he could ever find something, or someone, to make life worth living — until the prince. Yet Elician is unaware that his enemy plans to turn his kindness against him until danger engulfs him 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?
