Once upon a time, he would have burned the world for her
But she ran away from their happily ever after.
Now they must find a way to work together if they want to break twin curses.
Gothel was once the most eligible maiden in the Empire. But when her little sister is endangered, she has no choice but to steal her away. Abandoning the man who claims to love her, Gothel dedicates herself to raising her sister in an isolated tower where no one can ever find them. Her enchantments further protect them from any intruder. Or so she thinks . . .
Rothbart was once the most feared sorcerer in the land. But when his gamble to win the hand of the woman he loves backfires, he's left with nothing but a broken heart and a feathered prince in need of a guardian. Swearing off love, Rothbart has no choice but to exchange his plans of world domination for an honest trade to support the family he never asked for. At least he never has to see Gothel again . . .
Everyone's plans go out the window when their teenage charges cross paths and trigger twin curses. Now Gothel and Rothbart must find a way to work together if they want to save their families. If they can put their bitterness aside, they might just be able to survive their joint quest. But resisting falling back into love? That is another matter entirely.
