Description

17-year-old Yzabel of Aragon is engaged to the young King of Portugal, and under her touch, food turns into flowers. With the populace starving, and barely surviving herself, Yzabel doesn't only need to end her curse-she must reverse it somehow. Turn flowers into food. Desperate, she sets to find Fatyan, an immortal rumored to live nearby, but she is imprisoned by an old enchantment. So they must strike a bargain: Fatyan will teach Yzabel how to master her magic, and Yzabel making a deal with Fatyan will release the magical bonds holding her captive. As she learns to control her power under Fatyan's guidance, they grow closer in a way Yzabel has never felt for her betrothed. But she must keep this part of their relationship secret, or else lose her claim to the throne. If Yzabel is forced to leave Portugal, shamed for loving another woman, the people she was determined to save will surely die.
