Author Description

Nyssa is a princess, but she’s never lived the privileged life most would expect. Her mother is dead, her father a tyrant, and her homeland a barren landscape destroyed by the very man who should have been its saviour. Her only salvation is her baby sister, Juniper, who brings her light even in the decaying wasteland they call home. That’s until her destiny comes to call, in the shape of a Gargoyle king betrothed to her in an unseen contract when they were both just children. He wants blood, and only hers will do. And Nyssa will do anything to keep her sister, and her people safe, even if it means sending the infant away and going to the Gargoyle fortress. She won’t go down easily, but will her heart get in the way when it comes to doing what she must. Maxim Grotesque has lived through enough suffering to let a simple human wife-to-be get in his way. To avenge his mother’s murder, and his father’s last wish, he’ll take his bride, seal the age-old contract, and get the lands promised to them. But he never thought the feisty female would turn out to be a worthy adversary, and perhaps someone who might help ease the sorrow his homeland has been swathed in, if only he can stop his past ruling his future.
