Once, I helped save a kingdom.Now, I'm trapped in a prison of thorns and nightmares.My crime? Knowing the location of a power that could reshape the world-a grimoire I swore to protect with my life.That secret is the only thing keeping me alive while my captors wait for me to break.Until he arrives.Beautiful. Ruthless.Dark, inscrutable eyes. A dangerously wicked grin.But he's not here to rescue me. He wants the grimoire for himself--and he'll destroy anyone who stands in his way.My only choice is a fragile, temporary alliance with a man I can never trust.Because there's more at stake than just a stolen grimoire or an ancient grudge.And behind his mask of effortless allure, he's hiding something far more dangerous than a thirst for power.Something that could destroy us all.
