Description
Lore is a young woman who has spent the last decade hiding a dangerous secret: she possesses a rare and forbidden connection to Mortem, the magic of death. Living in the city of Dellaire, which was built above the remains of a dead goddess, Lore makes a living running poisons while trying to avoid the people who would kill her for her powers.
When a job goes wrong and Lore’s abilities are exposed, she is captured by the Presque Mort, a group of warrior-monks who serve the Sainted King. Instead of being executed, she is given a choice: help investigate why entire villages are mysteriously dying overnight or face death herself.
Lore is brought into the glittering, dangerous royal court, where she must navigate religious power struggles, deadly secrets, and political schemes. She is assigned to work with Gabriel, a former duke who became a monk, while also being drawn into the orbit of Bastian, the king’s rebellious heir.
As Lore investigates the mysterious deaths, she begins to uncover secrets about her own past, the magic that flows through her, and the powerful forces controlling the kingdom. Between forbidden romance, court intrigue, and a growing connection to the world of the dead, Lore must figure out who she can trust before the secrets she’s running from catch up with her.
