How it starts

Elowen is cursed with a deadly touch, a power that makes her fear for those she cares about. Her life takes a dangerous turn when she attracts the attention of Maelor, the enigmatic leader of the witch-hunters, known as the Raven Lord. Arrested and thrust into a series of brutal trials where ninety-nine out of a hundred will die, Elowen's survival depends on her ability to navigate a world where magic is forbidden. Strangely, Maelor is immune to her lethal touch and claims to want to help her. But as bodies drained of blood appear around the kingdom, Elowen must question whether Maelor is truly an ally or the monster behind the murders. In a world where trust can be fatal, can Elowen survive the trials and uncover Maelor's dark secret? For fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Serpent and the Wings of Night.
