Description

An epic, heart-racing fantasy romance, for fans of Powerless,
about the battle to survive a deadly tournament
to win the wish your heart most desires.
“Loxton’s debut is a thrilling blend of deadly trials,
dazzling world-building, and swoon-worthy romance. With adventure
teeming around every corner, readers won’t want to put this
one down.” – Kiera Azar, Sunday Times and #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Thorn Season.

When Talia unwittingly steals cursed jewels from a powerful Soulreaper,
she pays the ultimate price: the Soulreaper
takes her sister’s soul. Desperate to save her sister,
Talia strikes a deal. She will enter a deadly, magical tournament
and if she survives, she will claim the prize of a
wish – the only payment the Soulreaper will accept in exchange for
the return of her sister.

But the tournament can only be won in pairs. Talia is paired with
Taron who is brooding, mysterious and harbouring secrets of his
own. But they must find a way to work together if they
are going to make it through the deadly trials alive. And as Talia’s
feelings for Taron grow, the stakes get even higher – and
the ultimate price might just be her heart.

This is a heart-pounding YA romantasy about
a girl who is willing to sacrifice everything to bring her
sister back from the dead

Prepare for swoon like no other, with slow-burn #EnemiesToLovers
tension throughout

Perfect for fans of Powerless
