His Mortal Demise by Vanessa Le

These Violent Delights meets Divine Rivals in the explosive finale to The Last Bloodcarver duology -- with a riveting medical magic system and lush Vietnam-inspired fantasy world.

Kochin is a heartsooth -- a rare being with the ability to heal any wound. Any wound, that is, except death.

Intent on defying nature and bringing Nhika back to life, Kochin keeps her body in a life-preserving casket and waits for a miracle. Stricken with grief and descending into madness, Kochin realizes the answer to his desperate quest can only lie in one place: Yarong, the lush yet war-torn island the first heartsooths called home.

Meanwhile, Nhika wakes up in a familiar manor-house, dazed and confused. With Kochin nowhere to be found, she sets her mind to finding him, no matter the cost.

When Kochin discovers the true and grisly way to bring a person back from the dead, he must decide if he's willing to kill a second time, if he's ever to see Nhika again...

Don't miss this stunning dual-POV follow up to THE LAST BLOODCARVER, where morals will be tested, hearts pushed to the limit, and fates determined once and for all. Vanessa Le's jaw-dropping sequel is a bloody and luscious spectacle to be devoured in one sitting.
