He bit her. Just a little. And she liked it—more than a little...

Sorcha lives on the secret magical island of Lyonesse with her grandmother’s ghost, who is not going to let a little thing like death stop her from running her bakery. Not to mention a unicorn with an attitude problem, a Pegasus with a broken wing, and a hippogriff who won’t eat.

And Sorcha might be the granddaughter of a duchess, but she is also the Red Cloak.

She spends her nights sneaking into the magical fighting pits of the Cauldron to free the captive werewolves, satyrs, Minotaurs, and other creatures forced to battle for the entertainment of the witches of Lyonesse.

Aidan Carnahan, Earl of Coventry, is a curator for the London Museum of Magic.

And as a wolf shifter who does not trust his magic, he is serious, patient, and restrained.

When he first arrived on Lyonesse to track a curse and arrest Sorcha’s friend, Sorcha made it her business to trip him up at every opportunity.

And to kiss him.

Just once.

And then he left.

Just as she is starting to be able to pretend that it does not matter, Aidan returns.

When Sorcha is captured, Aidan is there.

When she tries to sneak back in to free more captives, Aidan is there.

The wolves are being targeted by the Cauldron, and so they have set a trap.

Trouble is—Sorcha stole it during one of her secret attacks.

Now there is no freeing her from the curse without Aidan’s help.

And there is no taking down the Cauldron with Sorcha’s help.

It will take a false betrothal, being claimed by Aidan’s wolf, and the courage to choose love to save a monster.

And each other.
