She tried to steal magic from the world’s evilest mage, but the power bound them together—now she’s stuck with the man...perhaps permanently. Ex-ranger Troa Travay is on a desperate mission to save a loved one—until she and her closest friends are charged with crimes against a ruler and shipped by sea to a brutal prison. But Troa and her friends aren’t the only convicts aboard the ship. The world’s most dangerous—and obnoxious—man sails with them: Zoranno the Liar, a renegade mage and warmongering murderer. When the ship wrecks off the coast of a deadly forest, Troa attempts to steal Zoranno’s magic. Instead, wayward powers bind her to the man. With time running out to fulfill Troa’s mission, and Zoranno committed to resurrecting a war, they’re forced to work together to survive a land of untamed magic. But monsters and ruthless seditionists aren’t the only perils ahead. Troa must navigate her traitorous heart with its unwanted feelings…for the most heinous villain in history. Surrounded by a tapestry of lies, she now faces impossible decisions, and if she makes the wrong choice, she could plunge the world into war.
