Dungeons & Dragons meets The Wizard of Oz in this darkly hilarious romantasy adventure where a young woman will do anything to rescue her sister from an evil sorcerer's curse by hiring a ruthless assassin.

After a dark sorcerer curses her sister, Zaira must find a way to save her only living relative before they die. To do so, she has to enter a deadly temple—one no man has ever survived—to reach the Prosperity Stone.

As a mere mortal in Thelanor, living amongst magic wielders and beasts who blend seamlessly with their society, it seems impossible for her to survive such a mission.

That is until she stumbles across Thane Valkor, a mysterious, brooding man of few words. With one look at Thane, Zaira not only feels an irritatingly profound connection to him but realises he is precisely the person she needs to save her sister's life.
