A bewitching new romantic fantasy from the author of Citadel. Khana is a young witch forced to play concubine for her empirical captor. After four years of abuse and terror, she kills one of the emperor's favored courtiers and discovers the source of his power and immortality: deals with Death. She begins making her own trades. Fleeing the empire with magic she doesn't fully grasp, Khana arrives in a small mountain town filled with fierce warriors who shun her despite her healing their sick and injured. Her abilities and bravery are tested as she must stop running and confront the emperor who wants her dead. But every deal she makes with Death takes another piece of her soul—and eventually she risks becoming the very monster she's trying to destroy.
