Rowan de la Rouge was once a sorceress of promise, bound by duty to a king who claimed her magic and her body. When he’s found dead at her side, the blame falls on her, and the kingdom turns into a trap she must outrun.
Hunted by bounty seekers and haunted by betrayal, Rowan clings to rumors of the Azure Grotto, a hidden sanctuary said to hold the power of renewal. But along the coast, she stumbles into something far more unexpected kindness.
Delia, soft-spoken with auburn hair, and Steph, her steady, protective partner, offer Rowan shelter. In their care, she feels something she thought long gone: the quiet pull of love and trust. Yet the danger she carries threatens them all, and every passing day tightens the noose of her past.
When enemies close in, Rowan must choose: walk away to save them, or stand and fight for a future together.
Can three women carve out love in a world that wants Rowan destroyed?
