Description

A necromancer with a single, aching goal—reclaiming her sister’s bones from Death—finds her desperate bargain pulling her into a far larger conflict than she ever intended. When the Emissary of the Lord Death becomes both obstacle and unexpected temptation, Azul is forced to navigate shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains among a count serving a child king, a faceless witch who turns the bones of gods into sellable dreams, and a long-lost half-brother carrying a secret that could change everything. As ancient gods’ sacrifices fade and the continents themselves begin to unravel, Azul must decide what she’s willing to resurrect—and what she’s willing to destroy—to keep the world from ending. Blending multi-POV momentum with swashbuckling intrigue and tragically romantic stakes, this epic debut explores love, grief, and the cost of defying mortality in a voice that feels as vivid and game-ready as the best fantasy adventures.
