Summary

Your magic is written on your skin. If someone steals your ink, they steal your life. Princess Reyna is on the run. Her back is covered in rare “Healing Ink” that can fix any wound. To her father, she is just a weapon. To the rest of the world, she is a prize to be hunted. Jaxon is a monster. Half-man and half-shadow, he is covered in “Death Ink” that is slowly driving him insane. He is a mercenary hired to bring Reyna home, but he has a dark secret: he is losing his mind to the beast inside him. When Jaxon finally catches Reyna, his skin brushes hers. He expects pain, but instead, he feels peace. Her healing magic stops his transformation, making him feel human for the first time in years. Now, Jaxon won't hand her over to the King. He kidnaps her to save himself from the darkness. But there is a catch: every time Reyna heals him, her own magic fades. If she saves the man, she might lose her power forever. If he lets her go, he becomes a mindless beast.
