Reign & Ruin -- J. D. Evans

<p><strong><em>"All magic is beautiful...and terrible. Do you not see the beauty in yours, or the terror in mine? You can stop a heart, and I can stop your breath." </em></strong></p><p>She is heir to a Sultanate that once ruled the world. He is an unwanted prince with the power to destroy.</p><p>She is order and intellect, a woman fit to rule in a man's place. He is chaos and violence and will stop at nothing to protect his people.</p><p>His magic answers hers with shadow for light. They need each other, but the cost of balance may be too high a price. Magic is dying and the only way to save it is to enlist mages who wield the forbidden power of death, mages cast out centuries ago in a brutal and bloody war.</p><p>Now, a new war is coming. Science and machines to replace magic and old religion.</p><p>They must find a way to save their people from annihilation and balance the sacred Wheel-but first, they will have to balance their own forbidden passion. His peace for her tempest, his restlessness for her calm...</p><p><strong><em>Night and day, dusk and dawn, the end, and the beginning.</em></strong></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> J. D.
