One mission. One curse. No escape.

Zaira doesn’t want a hero. She needs a weapon.

To save her sister from a soul-devouring curse, she has to cross The Shallows?a nightmare landscape of ruined magic, shifting paths, and vicious creatures that eat people alive.

Her guide? Thane Valkor: sorcerer, assassin, walking red flag. His name clears rooms. His magic kills quietly. And whatever he’s really after, it’s not salvation.

He promises to help. He might even mean it.

But Zaira knows better than to trust a liar with a blade and ice in his veins.

She just doesn’t have a choice.

I am obsessed with this book! I was hooked on this incredible romantasy from the very first page. From the epic quest to the strong, endearing heroine to the deliciously grumpy, morally grey hero, this book was the perfect escape from reality. A top read of the year and a book that’s going straight to my favourites shelf
