Author K. Jones weaves together a harrowing family saga and a seductive forced proximity romance in this darkly folkloric first instalment of the Daughters of Anjali series. Narissa, a witch sentenced to death, is deceived by a demigod's offer of protection. Imprisoned in his manor and separated from her three daughters, she meets an unlikely ally, a demon bound to Silas ordered to hunt her if she tries to escape. Roane's stories of the realm calling her home are just as intoxicating to her as he is and she finds herself contemplating an even worse fate than being bound to a god. Abandoning the children she swore she never would for a chance at freedom.
