The war is over, the forces of darkness have won, and the hero who was supposed to save them is dead.

Captured when her castle is invaded by the enemy, Briony Rosewood knows that the world as she knows it has changed forever. Bomard's dark forces have won, and her people, the Eversuns, face imminent servitude, imprisonment, or death. Her brother, destined to be a dual heir and unite the warring kingdoms, is dead.

Deprived of her mind magic and her freedom, Briony and the other survivors are quickly auctioned off to the highest bidders at an auction—and, as the sister of the heir apparent, she fetches the highest price.

After a fierce bidding war, she is sold to none other than Toven, a high-ranking Bomardsun—and her former, ill-fated love. Descendants of a family known for their ruthless control of Heart's Magic, the Hearsts are ruthlessly ambitious, and Briony knows they will use her in every way possible to further their own interests.

Yet despite the horrors of her new world and the role she must learn to play in it, all is not lost. Help—and hope—can still come in the most unlikely places...
