The Witch who Trades with Death
ByPublisher Description
From the author of Citadel and popular TikTokker C.M. Alongi comes a bewitching new romantic fantasy where a young witch seeks her freedom by forging a deal with Death.
A young witch forced to play concubine for her imperial captor, finally breaks free to find a life of her own, but even those with the power to call Death cannot outrun their past…
All witches must serve the cruel and immortal Emperor Yamueto. But after four years of terror and abuse, Khana not only kills one of his favorite courtiers with her magic, but also discovers the secret of his power and immortality: he’s been making deals with Death. And now, so is she.
Armed with magic that she doesn’t fully understand, Khana flees the empire and stumbles into a small mountain town filled with fierce warriors that ostracize her for being a witch, despite using her abilities to heal their sick and injured. There, her magic and courage are put to the test as she is forced to stop running and fight back against the emperor that wants her dead.
But every deal she makes with Death takes another piece of her soul. And there’s only so much Khana can give before she turns into the very monster she’s trying to destroy.

“I like that this was a standalone and necromantic witchy powers will always be kind of cool, but I just didn't feel an emotional connection to the story going into this and that never really developed over the course of it. There was never that depth there that I craved, and the characters didn't particularly stand out either.”

“I loved this book! I was got so attached to the characters they were all so fun and unique. I loved how even the side characters had growth, goals and personality. The world was unique and vivid. It was a refreshing new kind of story that kept me in my toes I couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend the audiobook version, the voice actor did a fantastic job with accents and it definitely helped with the challenging names.”Change and growDiverse representationFeel distantMultilayeredAction-packedSlow start, strong finishSuspensefulUnpredictableWell-structuredAtmosphericBeautifulDystopianEvocative imageryImmersive world-buildingSetting fits the storySurrealUnique locationVivid descriptionsDescriptiveFunnyOriginalAbuseAnimal abuseBigotryDeathDomestic violenceExplicit sexual contentGriefMurderSexual assaultViolenceWar violence

“Heavy but good, romance isn’t the main focus it mostly focuses on the characters friendships and healing journey but romance is there and it’s gradual and healthy and makes me smile. Love the found family! It’s a little spicy but not to do with the characters sexual assault, only the consensual stuff, and again not the main focus. The main character and her love interest are straight but it’s got a lot of queer characters running around and it’s nice to see. Overall love this book. Do not take the trigger warnings lightly though, make sure to read the front pages of the book the author has a whole thing on that’s on and off page and what is and isn’t focused on.”
