About this ebook

“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.
