A young witch forced to play concubine for her impirical captor, finally breaks free to find a life of her own, but even those with the power to call Death cannot outrun their past…
All witches must serve the cruel and immortal Emperor Yacatl. But after four years of terror and abuse, Khana not only kills one of his favorite courtiers with her magic, but also discovers the secret of his power and he’s been making deals with Death. And now, so is she.
Armed with magic that she doesn’t fully understand, Khana flees the empire and stumbles into a small mountain town filled with fierce warriors that ostracize her for being a witch, despite using her abilities to heal their sick and injured. There, her magic and courage are put to the test as she is forced to stop running and fight back against the emperor that wants her dead.
But every deal she makes with Death takes another piece of her soul. And there’s only so much Khana can give before she turns into the very monster she’s trying to destroy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
This one had me hooked from the start! The vibe was dark and clever in the best way, and the concept? So cool. A witch literally trading with Death? Sign me up. The main character had just the right mix of snark and heart, and the world was so vivid it felt like I could walk right into it. There’s a perfect blend of eerie magic and emotional depth here, and I loved watching it all unfold. Definitely one of those reads that sticks with you.
