A girl made of poison and vengeance unknowingly pairs up with a prince in disguise in search of a long-lost wish, so that she can kill the entire royal family—a heart-pounding fantasy for fans of Heartless Hunter and Powerless!
Asha’s magical ability was born the day her parents were murdered under the king’s orders. She can kill anyone with a simple touch because every part of her is poisonous, including her heart. Consumed by vengeance against a kingdom that continues to hurt people, she wants to end the royal family.
Meanwhile, Prince Maxim is dying and nearly out of time—his magic, once a blessing, now a curse. Desperate for his father’s approval, despite his cruelty, and terrified of losing the only thing that makes him special, Maxim wants control over his power once and for all.
Forced to work together, they each have their own secrets and agenda. And are both vying for the single wish granted by the Goddess Malthea.
A high-stakes, enemies to lovers fantasy, brimming with romantic tension where the only thing more deadly than poison might be love.
