She hopes to tame the monster. He never asked to be saved.
When she sacrifices herself to protect her father, Aoife is taken into the house of Lord Halverton, a man both feared and admired.
He offers her luxury, safety, everything he believes a woman could ever want: except freedom.
Trapped in a manor house of feasts and finery while her village starves, Aoife clings to one hope: that beneath Lord Halverton’s cruelty lies a wound she can heal, a man she can redeem.
