Howl's Moving Castle meets From Blood and Ash in this romantasy about a recluse who paid a terrible price for his dangerous magic and the woman sent to steal it from him.

He's a fugitive with stolen magic and a cat. She's hunting him. Falling for him was not part of the plan.

Three years at the Towers of Silver City, and Kira still can't awaken her magic. She's running out of chances to prove herself. So when she's offered one last mission to hunt the fugitive who killed a god, she takes it.

All she has to do is get close to the godkiller. Gain his trust. And bring him back to the Towers.

But Reznyk isn't the monster she expected. He's traumatized, protective, and impossibly gentle with her. And the longer they're together -- traveling through dangerous terrain, sharing secrets, and playing drinking games that lead to so much more -- the harder it gets to remember which side she's supposed to be on.

Reznyk has been hiding in the Dagger Mountains for years, trying to outrun the memory of what he did and the magic he can't control. When mercenaries find him, he goes undercover in their camp, ready to fight or flee.

Until he meets Kira. She's everything he's not -- hopeful, passionate, and determined. And the more time he spends with her, the more he wants to protect her from the Towers that sent her.

Even if it means sacrificing himself.

A steamy, emotional romantasy about found family, redemption, and falling for the person you're supposed to capture.

Perfect for readers who love: he falls first, found family, Howl's Moving Castle vibes, miscommunication done right, FMC who doesn't need magic to be a badass, guaranteed HEA
