In a world where reanimated corpses called Revenants are brought to life by technology developed by Victor Frankenstein, Adrien Beaumont is just trying to get through the day in one piece. As the youngest ever head of the Paris Bureau of Guardians, an administrative office of exorcists that prevents demons from taking over the bodies of soulless Revenants and causing havoc — or at least ensures they fill out the right paperwork to do so — there's a lot riding on his shoulders. But behind the scenes, Adrien is also on a desperate quest to achieve the impossible: his twin sister has died, and he's determined to restore her soul.
When Adrien's ex-training partner (and still-smoking-hot-jerk rival) Zayid Nejem arrives in Paris in pursuit of Frankenstein's lost research on soul resurrection, Adrien grudgingly agrees to help while plotting to steal the notes for himself. But his simmering attraction to Zayid can't be ignored for long, especially as Zayid is keeping more than one devastating secret.
As war heats up across Europe and the joint mission brings the two rivals closer together, Adrien will have to figure out who he can trust with his secrets . . . and his heart.
A deeply yearning romance. A race across Europe. A battle to the death (amidst the undead). And a moment, of course, for a candied almond or two in the first book in a New Adult romantasy duology.
