Todo tiene su precio, incluso cumplir tu destino.Para los humanos, el circo es un lugar mágico donde todo es posible; para Harrow, una elemental de Agua capaz de predecir el futuro, es un refugio en el que se ha mantenido oculta luego de que su pueblo fuera masacrado. Fingir que sus habilidades son parte del espectáculo le ha ayudado a esconder su identidad por años.
Pero su cautelosa vida cambia cuando conoce a Raith. Es la nueva atracción: un elemental de afilados colmillos y apariencia amenazante, pero que no recuerda quién (o qué) es, ni mucho menos tiene idea del origen de sus letales poderes. Pese a su aspecto monstruoso, su permanente estado de enojo y su deseo por mantenerse aislado, su mirada revela una soledad tan profunda como la de Harrow.
La atracción entre ellos es inevitable.
La oscuridad en Raith la llama, aunque sabe que su incierto origen podría ponerla en riesgo y arruinar la fachada que la ha mantenido a salvo todo este tiempo. Harrow teme que el atormentado ser en quien ha comenzado a confiar no sea lo que aparenta; quizá sea momento de mostrar que ella tampoco lo es.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The instant New York Times bestseller
A Refinery29 Most Anticipated Book of 2024
"Ascher's latest is a fantasy romance that has everything nice--a hot love interest, a relatable main character, female friendship--and plenty of (consensual) spice." ―
Booklist Some follow their destiny.
Others fall for it. For humans, Salizar's is a place of mystery and wonder. For Harrow, it's a place to hide from those who slaughtered her entire clan. A haven where she can disguise both her abilities and who she really is.
Until he arrives.
He has no recollection of who--or even what--he is. He only knows that he's a monster, with wings and powerful abilities never seen before. But beneath the layers of rage and isolation, one glimpse into those inky black eyes reveals a soul that calls out to the loneliness in Harrow.
And so she chooses him.
She is drawn to the mystery of him, her unquenchable need for his kiss. And as powerful enemies align and conspire against them, Harrow knows their only hope is escape.
Now, with every secret she unlocks from his past, a shadow from her own whispers free--luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow. And she's given them the perfect weapon...because her winged beast is not what he seems.
But maybe it's time they finally learn--neither is she.
