About the Book

Glamour Hides Secrets, And Magic Always Comes At a Price


A spellbring fantasy full of wit, romance and magic, perfect for fans of Practical Magic and The Magicians

'A wholly imaginative and witty debut novel that is unlike any I've read' Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants


First, she fell into a magical portal. Then she fell for him.

Nora Fischer never meant to stumble into another world. Here she finds endless glamour, rivers of fairy wine — and the dangerously charming Raclin.

Only too late does she realise she’s been bewitched into a marriage she can’t escape. Her only hope lies with Aruendiel, the brooding magician sworn to be her enemy, who offers to teach her real magic.

Torn between two men, one who deceived her, and one who challenges everything she believes, Nora must choose between passion, power, and a way home.
