Booklist
Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth have grown up in enemy
countries locked in a long-standing fight for dominance over
their shared planet. When Akos and his brother are kidnapped
by the ruling Noavek family, Akos is forced to serve Cyra,
the sister of a dictator who governs with violence and fear.
Cyra is known for her deadly power of transferring
extraordinary pain unto others with simple touch, and her
tyrant brother uses her as a weapon against those who
challenge him. But as Akos fights for his own survival, he
recognizes that Cyra is also fighting for hers, and that her
true gift—resilience—might be what saves them
both. When Akos and Cyra are caught in the middle of a raging
rebellion, everything they’ve been led to believe about
their world and themselves must be called into question. But
fighting for what’s right might mean betraying their
countries, their families, and each other. When the time comes, will they choose loyalty or love?
