A cozy sapphic fantasy romance about the magic of possibility, new horizons, and fresh perspectives.
At age three, Tia almost killed her mother. Born with a rare, recessive condition where her very touch inflicts deadly necrosis magic on other people, Tia has spent the last twenty years in a hidden convent in the Shilheim forest, with others sharing her affliction.
Asha chases horizons. Wants to be known for doing the impossible. So when she learns of a centuries-old blood curse being hidden by the elven authorities, and her even more mysterious patron claims to know how to cure it when no one else has come close… she cannot resist.
With a letter from Asha and a token from a sister she barely remembers, Tia’s life is forever changed when she risks everything to escape the convent and become Asha’s assistant and test subject. But the convent has always had contingency plans for escaped residents, and a single misstep could result in Tia committing manslaughter. To make matters worse, Asha can’t quite keep her thoughts professional when it comes to Tia, and the phrase ‘untouchable’ has never been quite so accurate…
