Nizzara is the reluctant heir to the Kingdom of Zarr. She can see spirits. She can channel their magic. And she would do anything to avoid marrying a man she doesn’t love, even if it means entering a deadly tournament where failure could cost her soul.
Dagen is a half-ghost assassin, bound to the god of death and desperate for freedom. When he’s offered a deal to win back his life by claiming Nizzara’s soul, he agrees without hesitation.
But she must give it willingly. And Nizzara is nothing if not defiant.
As they battle deadly challenges and simmering desire, their fates begin to entwine. Love was never the plan. Neither was betrayal.
And the clock is ticking toward a choice that could doom them both.
