A princess's forced marriage to a dangerously seductive prince becomes a life-and-death alliance in an exhilarating adventure by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of A Tribute of Fire.

Lia is always prepared for battle, but being blackmailed into marriage by Prince Alexandros is a challenge too far. She has no choice. He's holding her sister hostage to force her hand. But with this union built on betrayal and rage comes a contract. By the goddess's law, the marriage must not be consummated. A relief to Lia. She'd rather commit regicide than fall into bed with a man she loathes.

There is one other saving grace. Marriage gives Lia access to the palace and a chance to uncover the truth about the treasured eye of the goddess--and the magic it holds. But something inexplicable and impossible to ignore soon binds Lia and the prince. By night they walk in each other's dreams, and by day they share each other's pain.

As longing and trust grow between Lia and Alexandros and inhibited desires are set free, outside forces rise against them, posing an ever-present danger. Not only to the throne but to their very lives.
