Spark of the Everflame (Kindred's Curse, #1)

by Penn Cole

“You know how every realm has two kinds of magic? Light and shadow in Lumnos, stone and ice in Montios, sea and air in Meros, and so on.”

“Well, in the other realms, most Descended get one type of magic or the other. Only the very strongest get both.

The female Descended always get healing magic, while the male Descended get the power to kill—they can make your body decay right in front of their eyes.

“Every day I draw breath is as much a curse as a gift. I’ve been living on borrowed time for longer than you can imagine. If you’re the way my fate finally catches up to me, I can’t fathom a more beautiful end.”

“Let me die with the taste of you on my lips.”
