YOUR NEXT ROMANTASY OBSESSION.
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, Briony Rosewood is stripped of her magic and auctioned off to the highest bidder. Shes sold to Toven Hearst: scion of a family known for their cruel control of magic and her long-time and 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
