About The Book
Perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy and Lauren Roberts, Rebecca Robinson’s thrilling romantasy debut combines high-stakes political intrigue and a steamy, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance.
Vaasa Kozár knows she isn't long for this world.
She has just lost her mother – her only remaining parent – to a mysterious dark magic that has since awakened within her, a looming death sentence. Vaasa's brother, Dominik, has wasted no time in marrying her off to Reid of Mireh, a ruthless foreign leader. In one fell swoop, Dominik has both eliminated Vaasa as a threat to his crown and secured himself a second nation when her magic finally consumes her.
Vaasa enters her new marriage with every intent to escape it, wielding the political prowess and combat abilities her late father instilled in her. But to her surprise, Reid of Mireh offers her a deal: help him win enough votes to rise to power, and she can walk free. He even claims to know something about the dark magic running through her veins and agrees to help her keep it at bay.
Her new husband's proposal seems too good to be true – can Vaasa trust Reid, when she has learned to trust no one? And more importantly, can she fight off her own feelings for him as their perfect political marriage begins to feel like the real thing?
