Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She was built to feel nothing. He is the first thing that burns.

Lyraea Belmonte is the Order of Radiance's perfect weapon - fifteen years stripped of fear, desire, and every human weakness that could compromise a Guardian. She was praised for her emptiness. She never knew it was a cage.

Then a shard of forbidden shadow-magic shatters that numbness, and drags her into the mind of a man on the other side of the realm. A man with bruises she didn't give him, secrets she shouldn't know, and a soul-bond she can't undo.>Prince Cyprian rules a kingdom dying by inches, where his own people queue up to be drained of their life-force just to slow the rot. He's lethal, sardonic, and has made peace with losing everything - until a Light-forged stranger crashes into his head and makes him feel like he's worth saving.

The bond between them is the one thing that could stop the Void-Rot consuming both their worlds. It's also the one thing three centuries of war never produced - and everyone wants it for themselves.

Her Order calls it corruption, and corruption gets purged.His father calls it a weapon, and weapons get seized.The man who hollowed her out call it unfinished business.

She was trained to kill what he is. He was raised to distrust everything she represents. Neither of them gets to choose what they feel when the bond takes hold - only what they're willing to risk to keep it.

To survive, she'll have to run with the enemy she was built to destroy.>Treason.

A soul-bond romantasy with a touch-starved heroine, a morally grey shadow prince, and a thirty-day countdown neither of them can outrun.
