An Epic Slow-Burn YA Fantasy Filled with Gods, Monsters, Curses, and Forbidden Attraction.
From multi-award-winning author Jen Williams comes The Sleepless, the captivating first book in a fantasy duology where ancient powers walk the earth, deadly secrets shape destinies, and love may prove just as dangerous as magic.
Elver has spent her life guarding a vast and perilous monster forest. Rescued from death by a god, she bears a devastating curse: her skin is poisonous to anyone she touches. Isolated from the world and feared by those around her, she has learned to rely on no one but herself.
Artair is travelling with a dangerous mission of his own when his path collides with Elver’s. Yet unlike everyone else, he is immune to her deadly touch. The reason is as unsettling as it is extraordinary. Artair is one of the Sleepless, cursed to share his body with Lucian, a powerful and sinister spirit who awakens whenever Artair sleeps.
While Lucian schemes to bend both Artair and Elver to his will, Elver hides secrets that could change everything. Forced into a fragile alliance, the trio find themselves caught between warring gods, ancient monsters, and a mysterious magic capable of reshaping their world.
As loyalties fracture and forbidden feelings begin to emerge, they must decide who to trust before the choices they make ignite a conflict that could destroy everything they know.
Perfect for readers who enjoy slow-burn romantasy, dual identities, cursed heroes, monster-filled fantasy worlds, dangerous magic, morally complex characters, and books by Sarah A. Parker, Rachel Gillig, and Margaret Rogerson.
