Not every fairy tale ends with "happily ever after."The plan was simple: Find Ulric, the lost king of Tyrea, then return him to Luid to reclaim his throne from the tyrant who stole it. But though Aren, Rowan, and Nox accomplished the first part of their task, the rest is proving to be more complicated than any of them imagined.Severn won't give up his throne without a fight. Worse, it seems Ulric did not fare as well during his years in captivity as he's led everyone to believe-and Rowan may not have escaped unscathed, either.If Nox doesn't find a cure for the king's mysterious ailment, Aren will be forced to challenge Severn for the crown. It's a battle Aren has little hope of winning. And if he does, it will cost him the love and the freedom he's fought so hard to gain.

"Welcome to Darmid, where magic is a sin, fairy tales are contraband, and the people live in fear of the Sorcerers on the other side of the mountains. Rowan Greenwood has everything she's supposed to want from life -- a good family, a bright future, and a proposal from a handsome and wealthy magic hunter. She knows she should be content with what she has. If only she could banish the idea that there's more to life than marriage and children, or let go of the fascination with magic she's been forced to suppress since childhood. When Rowan unknowingly saves the life of one of her people's most feared enemies, that simple act of compassion rips her from her sheltered life and throws her into a world of magic that's more beautiful, more seductive, and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined. Rowan might get everything she ever dreamed of -- that is, if the one thing she's always wanted doesn't kill her first." --P. [4] of cover.
