HE'S HER GREATEST ENEMY … AND HER DEEPEST DESIRE

'Lush, complex, and utterly engrossing’ - Rebecca Ross, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

‘Absorbing, unique, and addictive’ - Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

'A delicious, darkly tender slow-burn romance’ - Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy

‘The scintillating romantasy of my dreams. The all-consuming, captivating chemistry between Briony and Toven has changed my life’ - Lindsey Kelk, Sunday Times bestselling author of Love Story

The war is over, the dark forces have won, and the hero who was supposed to save them is dead.

Captured as her castle is overrun by the enemy, Princess Briony Rosewood is stripped of her magic and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

She’s sold to Toven Hearst: scion of a family known for their cruel control of magic – and her long-time, unresolved infatuation. Yet despite the horrors of her new world and the role she must learn to play within it, all is not lost.

Help – and hope – may yet arise in the most unlikely of places…

USA Today bestselling author Julie Soto crafts a lush romantic fantasy that's filled with intrigue, magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance.
