Slow-build attraction with high-stakes tension and darker undertones.

The vibe

Tala can’t die—and that truth has shaped her entire life. When a mysterious plague begins ravaging the oasis villages, Tala is banished across the desert to the glittering city of Axsanda to secure refuge for her people. Armed with determination (and shape-shifting scorpions), she’s willing to do anything to prove herself as a healer and protect her community.

Until a would-be fatal encounter drops her at the feet of Selim, the chillingly beautiful High Judge of Axsanda—one of four immortal rulers. Selim is intrigued by the strange, tenacious girl brought before him, and he agrees to shelter Tala’s village… on one condition: Tala must remain in his palace until her people arrive.

Selim has spent a century without emotions, devoted to maintaining sacred order and eliminating threats to the land’s balance. While Tala hunts for a cure to the plague, Selim hunts for the truth behind Tala’s existence—and why she has such a dangerous hold on his attention.

As dark omens spread across Axsanda and Tala begins to show signs of an impossible power, Tala and Selim are forced to reckon with their attraction… and the catastrophic consequences it may unleash.
