'Youโll gasp, youโll scream, youโll cry, and youโll be begging for the next book.' Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
In Theumas, Nhika is seen as a monster who kills for pleasure, and her gift is highly prized in the cityโs criminal underworld. When Nhika is finally captured, she is sold to the highest bidder โ an aristocratic girl dressed in white. But her mysterious buyer is not looking for an assassin. She needs Nhika to heal the only witness to her fatherโs murder.
Nhika vows to hunt down the killer and all signs point to Ven Kochin, an alluring yet entitled physicianโs aide. Despite Kochinโs relentless attempts to push her away, Nikha canโt help feeling drawn into his opulent world. But she soon finds herself in a fight for her life โ and for the future of her own kind.
