PLEASE NOTE: the limited edition with blue stained edges is sold out but you can still get the
regular edition—same epic story same sizzling romance same thrilling twists! New York Times
bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns to the high-stakes sweeping world of dragons romance
and drama first evoked in her bestselling young adult Firelight series in a brand-new epic
adult romantasy series. Dragons are extinct. Witches are outcast. Magic is dying. But human
lust for power is immortal. Dragon fire no longer blisters the skies over Penterra but inside
the lavish palace life is still perilous…especially for Tamsyn. Raised in the glittering court
alongside the princesses it's her duty to be punished for their misdeeds. Treated as part of
the royal family but also as the lowliest servant Tamsyn fits nowhere. Her only friend is Stig
Captain of the Guard...though sometimes she thinks he wants more than friendship. When Fell
the Beast of the Borderlands descends on her home Tamsyn’s world becomes even more dangerous.
To save the pampered princesses from a fate worse than death she is commanded to don a veil
and marry the brutal warrior. She agrees to the deception even though it means leaving Stig
and the only life she’s ever known behind. The wedding night begins with unexpected
passion—and ends in near violence when her trickery is exposed. Rather than start a war Fell
accepts Tamsyn as his bride...but can he accept the dark secrets she harbors—secrets buried so
deep even she doesn’t know they exist? For Tamsyn is more than a royal whipping girl more than
the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge they will
ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone. Magic is not dead...it is
only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.
