In the heart of Emberwynd, desire runs wild and magic drips from the trees. The nymphs who call it home love freely, live fiercely and answer to no one.

Until a stranger arrives, demanding the impossible.

​

To save their dying forest, the Emberwynd clan must offer up one of their own. Not just any nymph, Ayria, the quiet one, the dreamer, the nymph whose soul is knotted to the woods themselves. Her price? To be bound to Soryn, a rare male nymph from a rival clan, a man she was never meant to want.

Ripped from the arms of her sisters and plunged into a world where trust is dangerous, touch is a weapon and every whispered promise might be a trap, Ayria finds herself promised to Soryn—a man with a mouth made for sin and eyes that see too much. He’s as dangerous as he is irresistible. She wants nothing to do with him, yet something coils beneath her skin whenever he’s near.

As ancient secrets surface and tempered passions ignite, Ayria must choose between the seductive fire drawing her to Soryn and the magic that pulses in her blood. One path leads to pleasure. The other, to ruin.
