She raises the dead. He's sworn to put them back.
Elara is a necromancer who prefers the company of ghosts to the living. In a kingdom ruled by the "Holy Light," her very existence is a death sentence. She's spent her life dodging the Order of Paladins-until the world starts to rot.
Kaelen is the Order's Golden Lion. A holy warrior of unmatched purity, he has spent a decade hunting heretics like Elara. But when a Void-Rift opens, consuming everything in its path, his light is useless against the darkness. Only Elara's "vile" magic can close the breach.
Bound by a Silver Leash.
To ensure her cooperation, the High Priests bind Elara and Kaelen with the Warden's Link-a mystical silver tether that prevents them from being more than fifty feet apart. If the thread snaps, their souls implode.
Now, the Paladin and the Necromancer must survive a treacherous journey through a dying land. But as the tether pulls them closer, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Kaelen was trained to destroy her, but as the darkness rises, he realizes the only thing more dangerous than her magic is the way it makes him feel.
One Horse. One Bed. One chance to save a world that wants them both dead.
