Synopsis
She’s the king’s pawn and the jarl’s next victim. Or so they think. Lady Marit is given no choice: marry the brutal Jarl Triam or watch her family suffer at the hands of the King of Winter. The jarl’s last three wives died under mysterious circumstances. Marit knows that one wrong move could make her the fourth. But when word arrives that her family has escaped the king’s icy grasp, Marit begins plotting her escape from the golden tower that has become her prison. She’s calculated every risk, every move. What she didn’t plan for was the return of her first love—a gallant fae knight determined to rescue her. A tale of forbidden love and one fae’s fight to reclaim her fate. This romantic short story can be enjoyed after or read in tandem with A Hallow of Storm and Ruin , book three in The Winter Court series.
