Fragility

«Fragility» — a romantic fantasy about the struggle for power in the kingdom of Zarr, where the magic of spirits has become a weapon, and the right to the throne must be confirmed not only by lineage but also by willpower. Li Wynn Courtney transports the action to a world born of revolution and fear: here the current ruler keeps the country under control with the help of spirits imprisoned in vessels, and his heir is being prepared for the role of a living weapon. At the center of the story is Nizzara, linked to dangerous magic against her will, and Dagen, the overthrown ruler, trapped between life and death. Their collision immediately establishes a double tension in the book: political and personal.
The heroine is being prepared for a royal duel, where not only her right to the throne is determined but also her place in the system built by her father. She can feel spirits better than others, and it is this ability that King Mazzar wants to bend to his will. At the same time, Dagen gets a chance to break free from the power of the God of Death if he can find a soul of exceptional strength. His goal is linked to the enemy's heir, which means that every step next to her becomes part of a dangerous calculation.
