The night the wards failed, the princess vanished, and the city needed someone to blame.
Cael Darrow was the warden who stood between Princess Elowen and the dark. Now he is stripped of rank, exiled from Liria at first moonrise, and branded with a star-shaped curse mark that burns blue whenever the moon climbs.
On the road, a hedge-witch named Seris drags him into a warded shrine and tells him what he doesn’t want to hear: his curse is tied to hers, and it’s spreading.
With Queen Ysolde’s hunters on their trail, blight-frost graying the fields, and a prince torn between his mother and his city, the warden and the witch must uncover what really happened the night the wards fell. Because Elowen isn’t dead. She is bound, a living lock beneath the palace, and setting her free could cost everything they have left.
Exiled warden x hunted witch • linked curses • forbidden magic • a ruthless queen • found family • a hard-won happily ever after.
