How it starts

Locked away for twelve years, Sabine Darrow's only friends are animals she communicates with using magic. Now, sold as a bride to a villainous high lord, her greatest fear is trading one prison for another. But a potential escape lies in the form of her gruff yet achingly handsome guard, Basten "Wolf" Bowborn, whose loyalty she is determined to break. As a huntsman with heightened senses, Basten has more important things to do than transport his master's new bride. With ancient creatures reawakening along the kingdom's border wall, he is torn between his duty and his desire to investigate—until a forbidden attraction becomes an unyielding obsession. Welcome to Astagnon—a kingdom of cruel games and corrupted courts, where the only thing more dangerous than the secrets slumbering underground is falling for the one person you can't have. Drawing inspiration from Snow White and the Lady Godiva legend, this dark enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout.
