 gains are sealed with blood. Others with fire. The deadliest are sealed wi
 th a kiss...</em></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Saige Grayson has 
 always believed stories could heal&mdash\;even when her own body refuses t

 to work through chronic pain and crushing debt\, restoring other people&rs
 quo\;s treasures while trying not to fall apart herself. But when the man 
 she owes decides her rare talent is worth more than her payments\, Saige i
 s traded to the Azkari&mdash\;an immortal race forged by the gods for war&
 mdash\;and imprisoned in their ancient stronghold.</p>\n<p style="text-ali

 ari general imprisoned beside her&mdash\;cursed\, dangerous\, and impossib
 le to ignore. He offers her a way out\, and in return\, Saige must help hi
 m retrieve and restore an ancient book. But the book is made of living mag
 ic\, powerful enough to stop a great evil&mdash\;or unleash it. And as Sai
 ge works with Archer\, the tome begins to awaken something dark and danger
 ous&mdash\;both in the realm and within her.</p>\n<p style="text-align: ju
