Ending

Prize-winning author Gabriella Batel, author of the highly acclaimed Dont duology, returns with a thrilling, gut-wrenching epic fantasy, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Rebecca Ross, and R.F. Kuang.

The prince of the night.
A dying immortal.
A traitor with a knack for miracles.
An assassin of gods.

Priyam Aqna is Death itself—the Essence of slowing and ceasing. He is as old as the world of Gara. Hes also only nineteen in the years of his kind, a hundred times that of a mortal. And he has not felt another living things touch in centuries.

His younger sister, Indony, the Essence of life, is chronically ill with a mysterious wasting sickness, and Priyam fears that only his magic, his power, and his presence could weaken an immortal like that. So, hes kept his distance.

Until the day that Indony is slipped an impossible synthetic poison—one strong enough to kill her.

She survives the attack, but Priyam returns from exile and goes on the hunt. He will find an antidote, and he will find her killer. He will save her, even if it means delving into the underbelly of the world he has loved since its creation. Even if it means allying with Aquilian Tectarus, the Essence who betrayed him all those years ago. Even if it means he must open up to his little sister once again—and put her in danger by doing so.

Priyam will find who poisoned Indony. And when he does, there will be Death to pay.
