Love crowns a new king
Lodein is 'sparkless'. A royal with watered down worthless blood. For his feebleness, he's exiled to the feral Underwilds where even magic has abandoned him. He's learned to survive alone. He's learned not to need anything.
Then an assassin arrives with orders to end him.
Orashi, a forbidden magic user, was trained to kill.
But Lodein is different. He sees her, really sees her, in a way no one ever has. And every time she gets close enough to strike, her body betrays her, consumed by a magic that binds them together and tears them apart simultaneously.
She's supposed to destroy him. Instead, she discovers what it means to be seen by someone worth staying for.
Separated by a curse that burns her when they touch, they find themselves building something neither expected: trust.
The realm is determined to keep them apart, but they choose to fight together instead. She becomes the one person he'll risk everything for. He becomes the reason she stops running.
Through growing affection, the blood of barbarism will become the gush of love.
