Beauty and the Beast meets Vikings in this tale of a rebellious princess and her forbidden romance with a brutal, cursed rogue.

She knew the crown was stolen from the fae. But she had no idea they'd use her to steal it back.

As the king's niece, Elise Lysander must secure a powerful marriage match to strengthen her uncle's influence. If she refuses, her deathly-ill father will pay the price.

Trapped by her sense of duty, Elise reluctantly puts her fate into the hands of Legion Grey, the handsome and mysterious dowry negotiator. But soon Legion incites a blistering, forbidden passion she can't ignore. As their attraction grows, so do the dangers: attacks by black-eyed people, an enemy who is more beast than man, and whispers of lost fae magic.

When a bloody coup upends the kingdom, Elise flees with Legion, but soon the man she let into her heart reveals his own magical secrets and plans. And he has every intention to use Elise to see them through.

With war between magic and mortal on the horizon, Elise must decide her place. Does she fight against magic once more? Or do her loyalties lie with a man whose past might save them...or bring her destruction?
