Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the inverted city of Salinae, sin is not a metaphor. It is a salt that kills.Mina Vallow is a Sin-Taster. In a world carved miles deep into a magical salt flat, the guilt of the wealthy calcifies on their skin like a deadly frost. To save them, Mina must lick the salt from their bodies,…absorbing their sins so they can remain pure. She is a member of the lowest caste-perpetually thirsty, reviled, and necessary.Daven Krell is the Geode-Warden. He hunts the 'Calcified'-those fully consumed by their sins and turned to statues. Cold, rigid, and slowly turning to diamond under the pressure of his work, he mines the statues for the powerful sin-crystals that power the city. He is the law, and he has never met a sinner he couldn't break.When Mina tastes a high-ranking official and finds not the bitterness of guilt, but the sweet tang of a synthetic drug, she is arrested for 'False Tasting.' dragged before the Warden, she expects execution. Instead, Daven realizes that Mina is the only biological detector capable of tracking a new poison threatening to turn the entire city into stone. Chained together in the dark, they must descend into the belly of the world, where they will discover that the city isn't just a mine-it's a mouth.A gritty, sensory Dark Romantasy where survival tastes like salt and love is the hardest mineral of all.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the White City of Ostraca, perfection is the law. To crack is to sin.Maren Vesper is an anomaly. In a city where citizens are born of cold, hard porcelain, she is "Unfired"-a woman of raw, soft clay. Vulnerable to the slightest touch, she survives in the shadows as an illegal Gilder, usin…g forbidden molten gold to repair the cracks of the desperate before the city recycles them.Cyprian Gaunt is the Kiln Warden. He is the only living soul forged from Obsidian Stoneware-unbreakable, terrifying, and burning with an internal heat that can dry Maren to dust. He enforces the Shard Law: If you break it, you own it.When Maren is caught stealing gold from the Great Kilns, she doesn't just break a law; she chips Cyprian's impenetrable armor. Invoking the ancient statute, the Warden claims her. Now, she belongs to him. Forced into servitude in the scorching heart of the Kiln, Maren must use her unique biology to repair a weapon that could shatter the city. But the closer she gets to Cyprian, the more she realizes that his heat isn't just a danger-it's the only thing that can finally harden her heart.A scorching Dark Romantasy of gold, ash, and the dangerous art of breaking.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the Ivory Citadel of Morne-Blanc, the city is built of bone. And the dead are dressed in gold.Veda Sallow is a Relic-Dresser. In a city carved from the colossal, chalk-white ribs of an ancient leviathan, she survives by wiring together the skeletons of the "Saintly Dead" and adorning them… with jewels for the aristocracy. To Veda, bones are just a canvas-until she touches one that pushes back.Stellan Rauth is the Dust-Inquisitor. Masked in white leather and wielding a mace of meteoric iron, he is sworn to burn "False Saints" and hunt those who desecrate the city's sacred foundations. He is a man of ash and silence, feared by everyone in the Marrow-Pits, except the one woman whose hands are always covered in grave dust.When Veda is commissioned to dress a mysterious skeleton found in the deepest mines, she discovers a terrifying secret: the bones are warm. She hasn't been given a corpse; she is hiding a "Sleeping Saint" with a heartbeat that echoes the city's own tremors. When Stellan arrives to inspect the relic, Veda is forced into a dangerous game of deception. But as the city begins to shake and the Inquisitor closes in, they realize that the ground beneath them isn't just rock-it's a god waking up.A lush, macabre Dark Romantasy where love is found in the marrow, and the only truth is written in bone.
