The Island of Winter is bound to a thousand-year-old curse that poisons each individual uniquely. It is only the blood of the curseless that can cure all, and Princess Lidya Winter has befallen that fate.
In this epic romantasy, Lidya is forced to find trust in her academic rival, Phoenix Veylor, in hopes that he can free her from her confines and help her find a secondary cure-one that will not deprive her of life. It doesn't matter that he kidnapped her. It doesn't matter how much she hates him. She would do anything to cure her sister.
