My plans of living peacefully in the king’s harem are shattered when the warlord Bane discovers my hiding place.
I’m his property. He wants me back and he’ll destroy anyone or anything that gets in his way – including everyone I’ve come to love, even King Jasper himself.

But Jasper won’t let me go either. He needs me to help control his magic, and I need him and his harem, to heal my ruined soul. And our thawing hearts need each other.

Jasper is strong, but he doesn’t know Bane like I do. That monster will go to any extreme to avenge the ego I bruised. The fight that is coming will rip this country apart. I can’t allow that to happen, even if it means I have to leave.
