Description
When Nelle Wychthorn was forced to sign herself away in marriage, she should have read the contract's fine print. Because she signs not with ink, but with blood. And that changes everything. Season 1 'Of Crows and Thorns' *** Fiery Nelle, the isolated youngest princess of Great House Wychthorn, has a secret: she's cursed with terrifying powers. In the sinister society of Houses, hidden in the shadows of our own world, no one is permitted to wield magic not approved by the Horned Gods they serve. And if you are discovered, everyone you love will die. So, the danger is twofold when Nelle must spend an entire weekend with her despised fiance, Graysen Crowther, a ruthless enforcer. Not only does she have to hide her powers from him, but their mutual loathing and hatred for their arranged union exists alongside an undeniable attraction to each other. Desperate to solve the mystery of the dark magic that lurks beneath her skin, Nelle accepts a deal from Graysen. In exchange for one kiss, he will provide her with an escape from her family's estate, where Nelle secretly intends to seek answers. But that one kiss awakens something more dangerous than desire and more mysterious than even the magic of the insidious marriage contract that binds them together.
