In Tindara, magic is born from trauma, and power comes with a deadly cost. Asha’s magical ability manifested the day her parents were murdered by the king’s orders. She can kill anyone with a simple touch because every part of her is poisonous. Consumed with rage against a kingdom that continues to hurt people, she wants to end the entire royal family.
Prince Maxim is dying and nearly out of time—his shape-shifting magic, once a blessing, is now a curse. Desperate for his cruel father’s approval and terrified of losing the only thing that makes him special, Maxim wants control over his power once and for all.
A single wish granted by the goddess Malthea can give both Asha and Maxim everything they want. Asha unknowingly pairs up with the prince in search of the wish. Each with their own secrets and agenda, the hunt becomes increasingly dangerous, but perhaps most lethal of all is what’s brewing between Asha and Maxim . . .
