About this listen
A battle-weary prince meets a reluctant assassin. But could their bond end their war?
SEPARATED BY WAR, UNITED BY FATE...
Prince Elician is a Giver. He can heal any wound and bring the dead back to life. He also can’t be killed, so is cursed to watch his country wage an endless war.
Reapers can kill with a single touch. When one attacks Prince Elician near a hotly contested battlefield, but fails, the Reaper expects a terrible punishment. Instead, Elician offers him a chance at a new life and a new name on enemy territory. Cat, as Elician calls him, hadn’t realized he could ever find something, or someone, to make life worth living—until the prince. Yet Elician is unaware that his enemy plans to turn his kindness against him until danger engulfs him in turn.
As the pieces of a deadly plot come together, featuring abduction, treachery and forbidden magic, tensions escalate at court and on the battlefield. The fires of conflict burst into new flame—but can those who wield the powers of life and death find peace?
©2025 Lindsey Byrd (P)2025 Random House CanadaCritic reviews
"[A] rip-roaring queer romantic fantasy. The delicious romance and thorny court intrigue keep the pages turning, and a clever late plot twist shocks. This hits all the right notes."—Publishers Weekly starred review
"Bask in the rays of The Sun Blessed Prince, an ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers. Thoughtful mythology and an unusually gentle queer love story set this book apart. It's a stellar start to a promising series."—Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong

Lord Nicholas Monterris is trapped. The only heir to a declining dukedom, Nic is destined for a marriage of convenience. What he doesn’t expect is for his bride to be Lady Leaf Serral, daughter of his father’s hated rival.

Until Nic learns the Serrals’ head negotiator is master vowsmith Dashiell sa Vare—beautiful, perfect Dashiell sa Vare—an old flame he has neither forgiven nor forgotten. Nic’s only defense is false smiles and too much wine.

Story
It was an average day . . . until a gorgeous demon waltzed into my coffee shop and asked me to be his mate. I jokingly agreed, but he was serious. And now I'm mated to him. Permanently. He drinks lust to survive, so that makes me his immortal meal. If that wasn't bad enough, he's just gotten out of prison. Because I accidentally bound myself to him, I automatically take responsibility for keeping him on the right side of the law.

He's not just attractive, kind, and self-aware. He's also my boss and my dead father's best friend. I had been running from my past, thinking that connecting with my family in Florida was what I needed to find myself. Instead, I'm at a funeral and being gifted shares of a company I didn't even know existed. Some office flirtation turns into longing, which turns into desperation for one another. When our tension reaches its peak, it's clear we can't hold back this attraction, and it nearly feels too good to be true—a man who's not only eager to please but willing to learn what excites me.
