A fresh standalone romantasy for readers who enjoy magic with consequences, reluctant allies-to-lovers, and a dangerous quest in the throes of a cult kingdom.
"The price for life would always be pain."
Favored by her goddess, Sylzenya must use her divine magic to keep her kingdom's lands fertile and stave off the famine sweeping the continent. But when her father poisons her and renders her powerless, Sylzenya seeks out her goddess who graces her with a vision: find the mythical healing willow, or lose her power and people forever.
Elnok knows nothing but thievery and the pain of hunger. But when his friend contracts the plague sweeping the land, the only option is one he swore he'd never take-accept aid from his abusive brother and travel to a kingdom rumored to carry a healing tree.
Sylzenya is just as unimpressed with Elnok's roguish nature as he is with her piousness, but they have no choice than to forge an unlikely alliance to accomplish their goal. But when they uncover the nefarious plans of an evil, ancient god, Sylzenya and Elnok must race against time-and their growing feelings-to find the goddess' willow...
...or else risk the extinction of humanity.
