About this book

"He was a ruthless king capable of reducing another kingdom to rubble, stone by stone at a time. And I was to be his dutiful wife. To find those who discarded me at birth, I need a way out of the inescapable middle lands. An opportunity comes in the form of a cold faerie king in search of a wife. The king will take me to Faerie if I make a blood vow to marry him. A collection of sweltering meetings fool me into believing his reasons for choosing me to be his queen--a changeling without so much as a name. For upon my arrival in his kingdom, I receive the answers I've craved and the truth behind his motives. My infatuation for the king and his wintry realm is snuffed by hatred and fear. Though loathing him is futile when venomous words and spiteful games only prove to excite him. Once again, I'm trapped. There is no escaping the monster with enough heat in his eyes to melt my resolve, and enough power at his frosted fingertips to accomplish his sinister goals. To survive all I've discovered, not only will I need to unearth King Florian's dead heart--I will need to guard my own before he tricks it, too."--Amazon website.
