\nA spirited outcast. A disgraced prince.\nA world where monsters roam free.
\nIn her forest-veiled pagan village, Évike is the only woman without power. So when soldiers from the Holy Order of Woodsmen arrive to claim a girl for their king\'s blood sacrifice, the villagers only have one person to offer up.
\nBut when they are attacked en-route to the capital, and everyone but Évike and a lone Woodsman are slaughtered, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he\'s no ordinary Woodsman - he\'s the disgraced prince, Gáspár Bárány, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power.
\nAs they travel from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, they form a tenuous pact that slowly turns their loathing turns to affection. But trust is easily betrayed, and as Évike discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gaspar must decide where their loyalties really lie . .
