About the book:
Rakel has an uncanny gift for fragrances, but even in a world where scent is linked to power and prestige, her skills aren't enough to save her dying father.
Ash bears the tattoos of an imperial bodyguard and is duty-bound to join his prince, Nisai, on a dangerous mission. It's a challenge protecting Nisai on the road, but it's even harder for Ash to conceal a secret that could see him executed.
Rakel and Ash have nothing in common until they find themselves framed for a shocking crime-poisoning the prince. They flee the city and take off on a desperate journey in search of a legendary antidote. In order to save Nisai and clear their names, they'll have to decipher clues and defeat their own demons before the imperial army hunts them down. But even two people bearing the scars of betrayal learn to trust again before it's too late.
