Fates collide in this captivating queer romantasy as an immortal prince and his would-be assassin develop unexpected feelings for one another despite their warring kingdoms and opposing life and death magic. Perfect for fans of C.S. Pacat's Captive Prince and Shelley Parker-Chan's She Who Became the Sun.

Prince Elician is a Giver, able to heal any wound and bring the dead back to life. But he cannot die, so his powers are as much a curse as a blessing since he'll be forced to watch his country fight an endless war for the entirety of his immortal life.

On the opposing side of the hotly-contested battlefield, a nameless Reaper has been sent to assassinate Elician, but fails in the attempt, unaware his ability to kill with a single touch won't harm the prince. He expects to be imprisoned, but instead, Elician offers him a chance at a new life, and a new name.

Bonded by their secrets, the Reaper is surprised he could still find something-or someone-worth living for. But Prince Elician is unaware his kindness is playing into enemy plans, for a deadly plot is brewing between the rival countries that will force him to reconsider what war-or peace-might cost, and what it truly means to hold life and death in your hands.

As tensions escalate and war rages, can love change the world?
