Tanto que, cuando Osric se cuela en su fortaleza para chantajear a Aurienne y conseguir que esta le cure, ella se ve obligada a aceptar. Y conforme Osric y Aurienne buscan tanto el milagro que lo salve a él como la procedencia de la misteriosa epidemia, descubren que, cuanto más abanican las llamas del odio que los une, más sube la temperatura entre ellos.

Loyalties are tested in this slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy following an assassin and a healer forced to work together to cure a fatal disease, all while resisting the urge to kill each other--or, worse, fall in love. When Osric Mordaunt, member of the Fyren Order of assassins, falls ill, he realizes he needs the expertise of a very specific healer. As fate would have it, that healer belongs to an enemy faction, the Haelan Order. Aurienne Fairhrim and her fellow Haelan are inundated by sick children suffering from an outbreak of a long-forgotten Pox. Unable to get the funding needed to launch an immunization program, the Haelan Order is desperate for money - so desperate that when Osric breaks into their headquarters to bribe Aurienne to heal him, she is forced to accept. As Osric and Aurienne work together to solve not only his illness but the mysterious reoccurrence of the Pox, they find themselves ardently denying their attraction which only fuels the tension between them. -

Konfidenz
The political and the personal become blurred in a series of tense, tantalizing conversations about resistance. A pared-back yet gripping psychological novel from the acclaimed author of Death and the Maiden and Allegro. A woman travels to Paris to meet her lover. When she arrives at her hotel, however, she receives a call from a mysterious stranger claiming to be his friend, who somehow possesses intimate knowledge of their lives and why she fled her homeland. Over the course of nine hours, this man will draw her in, revealing details about her lover's work, which could put him in grave danger, and the growing conflict that has ensnared them all. A brilliant, mind-bending story told almost entirely through dialogue, Konfidenz upends what we think we know, painting an insightful portrait of manipulation and divided loyalties. Taking inspiration from his own experiences of political turmoil and exile after the 1973 coup that overthrew Chilean president Salvador Allende, Ariel Dorfman infuses this novel with a remarkable urgency and authenticity. -
