Shadows rule the darkness. She must embrace them to find the light.
A transcendent daughter's life should be carefree, but Guinevere's life has always been a curse. Loving any man could kill him, so she swears to remain a spinster. And when her parents force her into an arranged marriage, she knows the only way to save the mysterious duke she could love, is to break his heart by leaving.
No matter how much Guinevere pushes him away, the Duke of Braxton knows she's the only woman for him. His magic allows him to hide his identity and follow her wherever she goes. As she cultivates the reputation of the most notorious potion maker in England, he abandons the role of duke for that of Guinevere's bodyguard Bran.
Years later, a Queen's command forces them to meet once more as man and wife, duke and duchess. But he can't keep his secrets forever, and when Guinevere finds out Braxton and Bran are the same man...
He'll do anything to atone.
And she'll do anything to keep him safe, even break her own heart.
