Two eras. Two women. One curse.
Revenge devours proud Vivienne Ross. She longs to punish the cultists who beheaded her parents. Fleeing, the girl runs to far-away Rusamy— to Count Mavros, the only person her father trusted. But he refuses to help Vivienne find the killers, and then she summons ancient magic, not knowing the price. A hundred years later, Lilia Tigrova bears the title of the “Ice Princess” humbly—yet the approaching marriage to Count Mavros terrifies her. She fears angering Death. The betrothed’s family skeletons only make things worse. And Lilia finds herself drawn into the ancient feud of the Order of the Rebellious Hearts and the Sect of the Enlightened.
