A dream between two

Destined to kill each other-no matter how much they'd rather kiss.

Asher Lumsi is untouchable-cursed with death magic that drains life from anyone foolish enough to touch his perfect skin. Feared by many, loved by few, and incapable of returning those feelings, he rules Astaroth Magical Academy as its unchallenged king. Beautiful, deadly, and emotionally hollow, he's the ultimate prodigy, a living weapon of the prestigious Lumsi House. With his rise to power, his Election in the Royal Selection of the Kingdom of Kerian, seems inevitable.

Until him.

In Tylansi, magic isn't revered-it's despised. Zair is the smallest, weakest runt of a clan of mage-killers, destined to fail the Proving Trials that separate warriors from cowards. But when his sister lies dying, his deepest shame is revealed: Zair isn't a warrior at all-he's a mage. A Bio Lord, an abomination with the power to twist and reshape life itself.

His magic makes him a monster in the eyes of his people, and his execution is certain. Until the rulers of Tylansi make him an offer: kill Asher Lumsi, the untouchable weapon destined to take the throne, and his family will be spared.

Forced into a deadly game of magic, power, and betrayal, Zair must confront not only the unkillable boy he's sent to destroy but also the feelings that make it impossible to pull the trigger. Asher isn't just Zair's target-he's his undoing
