A House that once ruled over an empire.
The Rochelacs are known for being ruthless, sanguinary, and tied to the blood of an ancient warrior. Centuries have passed and war has been waged countless times, and now the family rules as the overlords of the Fog Lands. Under the guidance of a scryer, Zander Rochelac decides to change laws and restore traditions for his only daughter, Loveleen, at the cost of sacrificing diplomatic relationships with the rest of the kingdom.
A woman, a bride, and a leader.
Loveleen is seventeen when she is to marry the lord of another house. Bold and free, she sees the marriage as a simple duty that will not prevent her from living her life the way she wants and blurring the line between friendship and lust. But Larcel Silenteye wishes to become more than a simple consort and will prove to become her only ally when Loveleen's father's actions put her on the path to self-destruction.
A curse that could bring an entire kingdom to heel.
The Fog Lands are the lands of the Beast, a sentient creature with desires and goals. When Loveleen uncovers what it really wants and what her father has agreed to, it may be too late for her family and the whole kingdom. The scryer speaks of a prophecy, but Loveleen sees a curse, and the color of the fog is changing.
