description: Monster. Butcher. Bloodwinn. Ranka is tired of death. All she wants now is to be left alone living out her days in Witchiks wild north with the coven that raised her attempting to forget the horrors of her past. But when she is named Bloodwinn the next treaty bride to the human kingdom of Isodal her coven sends her south with a single directive: kill him. Easy enough for a blood-witch whose magic compels her to kill. Except the prince is gentle kind and terrified of her. He doesnt want to marry Ranka; he doesnt want to be king at all. And its his sisterthe wickedly smart infuriatingly beautiful Princess Aramiswho seems to be the real threat. But when witches start turning up dead murdered by a mysterious magical plague Aramis makes Ranka an offer: help her develop a cure and in return shell help Ranka learn to contain her deadly magic. As the coup draws nearer and the plague spreads Ranka is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her power her past and who shes meant to fight for. Soon she will have to decide between the coven that raised her and the princess who sees beyond the monster they shaped her to be. But as the bodies pile up a monster may be exactly what they need.
