In a world of forbidden magic and cunning royals, a fugitive queen
bargains with her kingdom's greatest enemy and is soon embroiled in
a deadly game that could resurrect her scorched kingdom, or leave
it in ashes forever. A stunning enemies-to-lovers fantasy debut,
perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Jasmine Throne. At ten
years old, the Heir of Jasad flees a massacre that takes her entire
family. At fifteen, she buries her first body. At twenty, the clock
is ticking on Sylvia's third attempt at home. Nizahl's armies have
laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four remaining
kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia's magic is as good at playing dead as
she is. When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of Jasadis to Sylvia's
village, the quiet life she's crafted unravels. Calculating and
cold, Arin's tactical brilliance is surpassed only by his hatred
for magic. When a mistake exposes Sylvia's magic, Arin offers her
an escape: compete as Nizahl's Champion in the Alcalah tournament
and win immunity from persecution. In exchange, Arin will use her
as bait to draw out the Jasadis he's hunting. To win the deadly
Alcalah, Sylvia must work with Arin to free her trapped magic, all
while staying a step ahead of his efforts to uncover her identity.
But as the two grow closer, Sylvia realizes winning her freedom as
Nizahl's Champion means destroying any chance of reuniting Jasad
under her banner. The scorched kingdom is rising again, and Sylvia
will have to choose between the life she's earned and the one she
left behind.
