Magic is not a gift in this world. The gods only bestow their blessings upon those who have known great suffering.
Aethra has spent the last few years alone, toiling to escape the thumb of slavery. When an opportunity arrives to earn freedom, she seizes it - even if it means certain death.
Surrounded by criminals seeking the same salvation, Aethra finds herself drawn to the assassin with the blood-red eyes, his easy smile and charming words. But he seems all too comfortable pressing a knife to her throat.
And he knows something she doesn't: her magic is not ordinary. And it is no coincidence that they find themselves forced together on a doomed quest to save their world.
The abyss is coming. Darkness swallows the world in its grip, leaving naught but ash. And Aethra might be the only one who can stop it.
An exciting, fast-paced epic fantasy with a slow burn romance perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Carissa Broadbent, and Leigh Bardugo. Six of Crows meets Daughter of No Worlds.
