The Sun Blessed Prince

Separated by war. United by fate . . .

On a hotly-contested battlefield, a prince whose touch creates life meets a soldier chosen by death. But can they forge a future together, from opposite sides of a great war?

Prince Elician is a Giver. He can heal any wound and bring the dead back to life. He also can't be killed, so is cursed to watch his country wage an endless war. Reapers can kill with a single touch. And when one attacks Prince Elician by a hotly-contested battlefield, but fails, the Reaper expects a terrible punishment. Instead, Elician offers him a new life on enemy territory. The Reaper hadn’t realized he could ever find something, or someone, to make life worth living – until Elician. Yet this kindness could be the prince’s downfall.

As the pieces of a deadly plot come together, tensions escalate at court and on the battlefield. The fires of conflict burst into new flame – but can those who wield the powers of life and death find peace?

A powerful and richly-imagined tale from a bold new voice in fantasy fiction.
