Synopsis
An unwanted consort, an unwilling pawn… Locked away in an abbey since his magic manifested, Remi’s never known the touch of another man, averting his dawn mage’s curse with a potion that keeps him alive—but prevents him from truly living. When he’s whisked off to the glittering, worldly Calatrian capital and forced to marry a lord he’s never met, his only hope is that his new husband won’t use him and his magic too cruelly. Suddenly recalled from his diplomatic posting, Stefan finds himself embroiled in another of his powerful father’s political plots. His demure, delicate consort is painfully chaste, heartbreakingly beautiful, almost certainly an unscrupulous liar—and precisely calculated to wrap Stefan around his pretty little finger. Stefan refuses to be drawn in by his wiles. He won’t touch him unless absolutely necessary. Won’t taste his alluring sweetness. And he absolutely will not sate his ever-growing obsession with claiming what belongs to him. No matter the cost… The Consort’s Curse is the fourth book in the Twilight Mages series, and some characters from book three appear, but it can be read as a standalone. As in every book, there is an HEA. Life’s unreliable enough. Extra happy endings in a romance should be guaranteed!
