On a hotly-contested battlefield, a prince whose touch creates life meets a soldier chosen by death. But can they forge a future together, from opposite sides of a great war?

A lyrical and character-driven queer fantasy for those who loved She Who Became the Sun, The Song of Achilles, and Sistersong.

Prince Elician is a Giverโ€”a closely-guarded secret. He can heal any wound and bring the dead back to life. He also can't be killed, so is cursed to watch his country wage an endless war. Reapers can kill with a single touch. And when one attacks Prince Elician near a hotly contested battlefield, the Reaper expects a terrible punishment. Instead, Elician offers him a new life on enemy territory.

Cat, as Elician calls him, hadn't realized he could ever find someone who would make life worth living. Yet Elician's enemies plan to turn his kindness against him. As the pieces of a deadly plot come together, tensions escalate at court and on the battlefield. The fires of conflict burst into new flameโ€”but can those who wield the powers of life and death find peace?

A powerful and richly imagined tale from a bold new voice in fantasy fiction. Expect themes of 'enemies to lovers' as well as 'found family' in this sweeping adventure.
