The Witcher meets N.K. Jemisin in a new series from NYT bestselling author Rachel Howzell Hall where a young woman learns the world is about to be destroyed by an evil, destructive force...herself. My name is Kai. I wish I can say that my life has changed. But I don’t remember my life before today. I wake up, naked and voiceless, in a forest outside a town called Maford. Everyone I meet there either fears me or loathes me. Strange beasts, otherworldly creatures, hunt me. Each time I fight them, I unlock new powers—seeing the glow of death, moving objects with a flick of my hand, controlling the weather. I do have a weakness. The moment I touch another, a piece of me dies. Yes, I’m dying every day. That’s why I need to know right now: who am I? What am I? I need answers before I perish. But my amulet—the source of my power—has been stolen. I know the thief—Adara and I were friends. Or so I thought. She lies. Now, I must work with her brother Jadon, the town’s blacksmith, to reclaim all that’s mine. There’s a problem, though. A white-haired woman named Elyn has come to Maford, and she claims that we are old friends. Like Adara, Elyn also lies. She’s stronger and stranger than me, and she’s trying to stop me… From what? I don’t know. But I must be powerful. I must be someone. Who?

TRIED TO READ IN FEBRUARY* Gurl I was so happy I DNF'd at like chapter 24. My friend hated it and I was trying to stick it out because I love dorky puns and this one had a good chunk of sword ones. But this sh!t was so dumb on the ending because I could not do it anymore and just flipped to the end to skim the last like 2 pages. It starts off good and then got boring af. the romance was non-existent Like if you are going to have insta lust do not try to also make it slow burn for f-ck sake. I have already sold this one to HPB and its no longer in my library.
