A dark curse. Bloody, violent murders. And a long awaited reunion throw Aleksasha's ordered world into disarray.

Aleksasha was born to be the perfect noblewoman and then her family was brutally murdered in a conspiracy that spans beyond her years.

When she was on the brink of ruin, the brooding Duke Matias Volkov married her when all of the kingdom turned their backs on the cursed daughter of a ruined house. 

After they exchange vows, Matias leaves Aleksasha to build their hiuse as he fights in a distant battlefield for 10 years.  When Matias returns as a war hero he bears both scars and the spoils of war including a stunning and enigmatic woman named Selene.

As Aleksasha’s hard-won position as the lady of the estate is threatened, she must confront deepening betrayal. Torn between reclaiming her rightful place and the dangerous allure of a new rival, Aleksasha battles her darkest fears. 

Long forgotten magic burns within her, desperately seeking release as outside forces strive to rip her marriage and her power apart.
