Ranka is tired of death. All she wants now is to be left alone, living out her days in Witchik’s wild north with the coven that raised her, attempting to forget the horrors of her past. But when she is named Bloodwinn, the next treaty bride to the human kingdom of Isodal, her coven sends her south with a single directive: kill him. Easy enough, for a blood-witch whose magic compels her to kill. Except the prince is gentle, kind, and terrified of her. He doesn’t want to marry Ranka; he doesn’t want to be king at all. And it’s his sister – the wickedly smart, infuriatingly beautiful Princess Aramis – who seems to be real threat. But when witches start turning up dead, murdered by a mysterious, magical plague, Aramis makes Ranka an offer: help her develop a cure, and in return, she’ll teach Ranka to contain her deadly magic.

A fierce, sapphic fantasy about a witch whose mission to assassinate the prince she’s betrothed to is compromised by the discovery of a deadly plague – and the beautiful princess intent on stopping it.
After years of bloodshed, Ranka’s coven has one last mission for her: travel to the human kingdom, marry the prince, and kill him. Easy enough.
Except the prince is gentle and kind. And it is his sister, Aramis – wickedly smart and infuriatingly beautiful – who seems to be the real threat.
When witches start dying from a mysterious, magical plague, Ranka and Aramis are forced together in a desperate hunt for a cure.
Soon, Ranka will have to choose between the witches who raised her, and the princess she may be falling for . . .
