She carries twelve souls. He’s been erased from existence. To save him, she’ll break every law of necromancy—and risk losing herself forever.

A dark fantasy romance for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Carissa Broadbent, and Kerri Maniscalco. Book One of an addictive romantasy trilogy readers are calling “completely unputdownable.”

Elara doesn’t belong among Valenmoor’s glittering elite.

As a necromancer, she walks with twelve spirits bound to her soul—echoes of people who chose preservation over the final silence. She lives in shadows. Speaks to the dead. Trusts no one living.

Until Prince Caspian Thorne plays his final concert.

His music is beautiful. Haunting. Wrong.

When ancient binding magic rips his consciousness from his body, trapping him somewhere between life and death, Elara is the only one who senses where he’s gone. The only one who can follow.

She should walk away. She knows she should walk away.

Instead, she steps into the void after him.

What Elara discovers in the darkness will shatter everything she believes. A conspiracy three hundred years in the making. A kingdom built on the screams of tortured souls. A secret so devastating it could topple the throne—or destroy her completely.

To free Caspian, she must master abilities she never knew she possessed.

To expose the truth, she must trust a prince whose family banned her kind on pain of death.

To survive, she must choose between the twelve souls who’ve protected her all her life—and the one soul she’s only beginning to love.

But the forces hunting them won’t stop at one prince. They’re building something. Harvesting something. And Elara is exactly what they need to finish it.

In a world where magic is taken by force, she’ll prove that the most powerful bonds are the ones freely given.

“Consent is the only magic that matters.”
