In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, the richest of nobles and the most debauched of criminals have one thing in common: the constant search for wealth, power, and the next hedonistic thrill. Kel is a Sword-Catcher - the body-double of a royal heir, Prince Conor Aurelian. Lin Caster is one of the Ashkar, a small community who still possess magical abilities. After a failed assassination attempt brings Lin and Kel together, they find themselves caught in a web of forbidden love, dangerous magic, and dark secrets that could change the world forever.
