Laira Tarvis runs an artifacts shop in Glimmar and values most of all a quiet, predictable life without any unexpected shocks.
Caleb Vanderhill is a captain of the guard, used to getting what he wants. But one day an ancient curse tied them together with a marriage contract.
From that moment on, magical threads stretch between them: they feel each other’s nearness, catch one another’s emotions, and… unwillingly become closer.
Laira tries with all her might to understand herself—where the spell ends and a real feeling begins, while Caleb… Caleb doesn’t separate those things. He has long been certain of what he wants.
A fantasy tale of passion, choice, and feelings that recognize no contracts.
