About the book:
Disappear into this twisty tale of a ruthless heir and the sheltered, gifted orphan he chooses as both his wife and his greatest weapon against a growing list of enemies.
Siofra has lived her entire life in isolation, terrified her unrestrained dark magic will be the undoing of herself and others. She disappears inside books that promise a life she can never have.
Elsewhere in the kingdom, Desemir’s isolation is a matter of political expediency, as he holds court in the decadent estate that keeps a wall between himself and his enemies.
Desemir’s lack of heir ignites his rivals, but to marry within his peerage would invite the very coup he needs to avoid. Siofra cannot run from herself forever.
The unthinkable happens and Siofra is imprisoned, awaiting a predictable fate. Before the law can meet her punishment, she is rescued by Desemir and whisked away to his glamorous estate, like a princess in one of her stories.
Siofra and Desemir’s needs conveniently intersect, seemingly fixing their unsolvable problems.
If it all seems too good to be true, that’s because it is.
Because everyone knows darkness can only be soothed, not contained.
