Sable has already decided Prince Cassian must die.
The youngest prince of Veyndor is coming to Mirehaven to marry Elysara, Sable’s fragile best friend—and Sable would rather commit regicide than watch the person she loves most become the property of a man she believes to be a monster.
Then one of Mirehaven’s supernatural “nightmares” rolls across the marsh, twisting fear into madness. Against a backdrop of violet storms, cursed woods, and a mysterious goddess trapped somewhere beneath the land, Sable makes an impossible choice: if someone must marry the prince, it will be her.
She expects cruelty.
Instead, Cassian is infuriatingly charming, dangerously perceptive, and far more difficult to hate than he has any right to be. Every argument sparks. Every accidental touch burns. And while Sable searches for the truth behind the nightmares and the magical dagger entrusted to her, her unwanted husband keeps dismantling everything she thought she knew about him.
Meanwhile, Elysara is fading. The marsh is calling her. And the secrets buried inside Mirehaven are becoming more dangerous with every storm.
Sable married a prince to save her best friend.
Now she may have to discover who her husband truly is before Mirehaven takes them both.
