As the victim of a magical experiment, Bex now uses her skills as a treasure hunter to keep herself and her sister safe from those who would use them. Sheâs learned to use everything from little lies and manipulations to the spell branded into her palm. But her sister is dying. The trinkets and spells Bex hunts down for her arenât enough anymore. Bex needs to find something bigger. But bigger treasures come with bigger risks. And bigger lies.
Rowan might be considered the foremost expert on Giant artifacts now her mentor is dead, but sheâs hidden herself away to protect the world from the Grief Draw, a powerful lantern that destroys anyone who touches it. Nothing can convince her to abandon that duty. Until a charismatic treasure hunter tracks her down and tells her sheâs needed to find another dangerous artifact. Rowan isnât prepared for a trip to the distant isle of Taur, and something seems off about Bexâs story. But can she afford to say no when Humanityâs chances against the Giants might be the truth between Bexâs lies?
The search will take all of Bexâs cunning and Rowanâs expertise as well as a deep trust between them. But can trust be earned when Giant magic is involved?
