Her voice could destroy kingdoms. His songs nearly did.

Clita has spent her life in silence.

Born a Death-Singer, her voice is powerful enough to kill, her throat bound in silver until the day she's deemed worthy to choose her own fate.

Then Dante shatters everything.

Once Venethia's most celebrated bard, Dante was stripped of his music, disfigured by the tyrant he dared to defy, and left with nothing but vengeance. Convinced the legendary Death-Singer is the key to bringing down the Serenissimo, he kidnaps Clita—only to discover her deadly voice has been stolen long before he arrived.

Forced to flee together, they seek refuge among a traveling caravan of performers, thieves, and outcasts. As the miles between them and Venethia grow, so does an undeniable bond neither expected.

But revolution demands sacrifice.

And when the city's glittering Carnival begins, Clita and Dante must decide whether vengeance is worth the price of becoming the very monsters they were taught to fear.

Perfect for readers who love gothic romantasy, enemies-to-allies, slow-burn romance, magical curses, found family, tortured heroes, and lyrical fantasy.
