P. M. Freestone - Árnyékvirág - A sötétség illata

In the Aramtesh Empire, scents define everything. Prayers reach heaven only through consecrated smoke, perfumes are highly valued status symbols. Seventeen-year-old Rakel has an uncanny talent for scents, but her skills aren't enough to buy time for her dying father. Ash's tattoos indicate his status as an Imperial bodyguard. After failing to talk his prince into completing a diplomatic mission, Ash dutifully joins the caravan. Protecting the prince meets with a nightmare on the way. But it's even more difficult to keep a secret, the revelation of which would lead to Ash's banishment or execution. Nothing connects Rachel and Ash until smoke lures them to a plantation of the rarest flower in the realm. Nisai has become a victim of poisoning, the flowers are consumed by flames, and the shadow of suspicion casts over the couple like a disgusting stench. Their fate depends on whether they can work together to solve the riddle, defy the dangers, and defeat their own demons as they race against time to find the antidote...with the imperial army panting in their corner.
