The man she loves is coming for her. The kingdom standing between them may burn.

Vaasa Kozár escaped death, found unexpected love, and claimed a crown.

Then everything was taken from her.

Dragged back to her homeland in chains, Vaasa is no longer a queen but a political prisoner. Her magic is bound, her marriage threatened, and a dangerous witch named Ozik is determined to use her to seize control of the kingdom.

But Vaasa has survived worse than captivity.

And she isn't done fighting.

Across the continent, Reid is done playing politics. The woman he loves has been stolen from him, and with war looming on the horizon, he'll stop at nothing to bring her home.

As ancient secrets emerge and Vaasa's unstable magic grows stronger, she uncovers clues left behind by her mother that could finally unlock the truth about her power. But when a ghost from her past returns with an offer of freedom, Vaasa is forced to make an impossible choice.

Because some betrayals can save a kingdom.

Others destroy the people you love.

Perfect for readers who love possessive heroes, star-crossed lovers, political intrigue, deadly magic, forced proximity, marriage of convenience, and slow-burn romantasy filled with betrayal, tension, and heart-wrenching romance.
