A ruthless king wants her future, but his mage already owns her past. When Enora Wynn travels to Grimmoria for a marriage alliance, the princess-turned-soldier expects the loss of her freedom in a loveless union. Instead, she’s abandoned at the border, branded a criminal, and told the king she was promised to is dead. Then she meets his heir. Maksym is ruthless and dangerous. He should have ended her the moment she crossed his border, but offers up a bargain instead: survive their deadly military trials, and he will claim Enora as his bride. In Grimmoria, though, her greatest threat isn’t the trials—it’s the high mage at Maksym’s side. Jasper was once the boy who vanished from Enora’s life and left her heart in pieces. Now he’s a man made of secrets and restraint, with his very presence threatening to surface everything she buried to survive. And the further Enora finds herself tangled between the king who claimed her future and the mage who destroyed her past, she must decide where her loyalty truly lies: with the kingdom she vowed to serve…or the enemies who feel dangerously like home.
