What to expect
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A really great dark fantasy…if you like morally grey characters and fascinating fantasy worlds, I’d definitely recommend checking this out!'
Tahereh Mafi meets Sarah J. Maas in this breathless dark fantasy featuring morally grey characters, a love triangle and the biggest twists you won't see coming!
Many years ago, a barrier was created between the mortal world and the realm of the gods, a barrier to ensure balance.
But although the gods could no longer walk among us, they could still choose to gift their powers to a chosen few.
Some saw these gifts as a blessing. Most saw them for what they were…a curse.
Chiara is one of the Gifted, but what no one knows is that she is one of the rarest, gifted by the God of Death himself.
As a child she was sold to the king by her own mother and forced to become a weapon of destruction, cutting down the enemy with brutal precision.
But now Chiara faces an impending threat that could unravel the world. She must decide who to trust – the man whose smile and charm comes so easily, or the dark prince who's known betrayal like she has…
