The Plated Prisoner series meets The Vampire Diaries in the second instalment of this steamy, dark academia fantasy romance duet.

"There is no end for you and I, Witchling."

Even through her fury at the bargain that binds her to Gray, Willow can't ignore the soul-deep connection between them. Together, their magic could have the power to right centuries of wrongs...

About the Author

Harper L. Woods is the USA Today bestselling fantasy romance alter ego for Adelaide Forrest. Raised in small-town Vermont, her passion for reading was born during long winters spent with her face buried between the pages of a book. She began to pass the time by writing short stories that quickly turned into full-length fiction. Since that time, she has published over 15 books and has plans for many more. When she isn't writing, Harper can be found spending time with her two young kids, curled up with her dog, dreaming about travel to distant lands, or designing book covers she'll never have enough time to use.
