Synopsis

Thirty-seven years after the Republic fell, five clans and the Kingsland are at war over the last untainted land. Isadora, eighteen, is a healer and the daughter of the clans' leader. She spends her days tending wounded soldiers.

Her work ends in a fight when she stops an attack led by Tristan, an assassin from the Kingsland. His soldiers hit her with a poisoned arrow. Close to death, she hears Tristan propose a cure: a rare magic that can keep her alive.

Isadora chooses to live, and the choice binds her to him. Through the bond Tristan can learn her memories and everything she knows about her people. The link runs both ways, so she can read him as well.

To protect the clans, Isadora has to stay near the enemy while she plans to destroy him and his people. Each day in his company makes it harder to know whether she is using the bond or falling for him.

The book is a young adult enemies-to-lovers romantasy in a magical dystopia, built on the legend of Tristan and Isolde. It stands alone as a single novel, and its question is which of the two aims, betrayal or love, will win out.
