The early stages of this fantasy sees the narrative point of view switch between Selestra, a young witch groomed to steal souls for an immortal king, and Nox, who is determined to steal the King's immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra. Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal King that now hunts them.
The author uses a concise writing style - with short paragraphs and sentences - which is fast-paced and easy to engage with, while the front cover of writhing snakes and a smoky green/black background sets the scene for what is to come.
