This Delicate Flame

● "Rylla Stirkiv likes her life. She likes her little house on the outskirts of a quiet village. She likes the magical forest where any herb she could want grows, and where magic from the Rend splitting her planet in two turns the leaves rainbow colors. She does not like the hardened assassin that arrives bleeding on her doorstep. Tarinne is the antithesis of Rylla. She's brash, headstrong, and abrasive. Her skin is marked with more scars than Rylla has ever seen in her life. What's more, she kills people, while Rylla is sworn to do the opposite. But the two women discover they have more in common than they thought, and that maybe, just maybe, Tarinne likes the slower life that Rylla leads." ― paraphrased from this book's product page on Amazon.com as of 2025-04-12
