Fans of Brigid Kemmerer and Lexi Ryan will love this debut romantasy stand-alone with unique magic and an engrossing romance in which key conjurer Elia falls for the bookworm prince whose dangerous commission puts both their lives at risk. Elia Tallis uses her powerful key-conjuring abilities to provide for her younger siblings. She can’t yet afford to send them to school or to release her comatose father, whom she’s had to magically tether to life until she’s of age, to Morthanos, god of death. But Morthanos is angry with Elia for withholding Papa and claims her youngest brother as an acolyte in the fearsome death temple. Desperate to save her sweet brother from suffering for her sins, Elia takes a dangerous commission from Trys, a prince with a kind heart and his nose stuck in a book. Trys wants Elia to create a pathway to a faraway kingdom so that he can find a legendary scroll. In exchange, he’ll pay a huge fee—and if he comes back alive, he’ll marry her, and she and her siblings will be set for life. Elia and Trys find the scroll, but it transforms him into a monster beyond comprehension. With Trys at the battlefront, killing enemies and allies alike, the king plans to destroy him. Elia will have to brave horrifying carnage, nightmarish creatures, and endless night on the battlefield to rescue the prince she’s growing to love.
