Verosa knew only three things, the first being that to be born Cursed was to be born dead, and the second was that her arranged marriage would be the key to peace for her kingdom. The third was that none of that mattered to her. Her only way out? Striking a deal with the notorious king of mercenaries. Ruthless and obsessed with revenge, Rowan agreed to train Verosa under the condition that she be his key to the palace and all the powerful villains within. To uncover the secrets buried by the king’s queen and earn her freedom Verosa thought she had been prepared to pay any cost, until she began to display signs of a long dead power. A magic that could either save or destroy them all.
