Just one spell will change their fates...

Cordelia Dorchada dreams of being free from her family's poisonous politics, but her carefully laid plans are jeopardized when her father commands her to marry an aged lord of Frostever. With only a few short months left before her wedding, Cordelia's salvation hinges on creating a Sephra's Tear—a forbidden amulet that causes overwhelming lust in its victim.

Two wizards are needed to produce the passion to fuel the erotic spell, so Cordelia recruits the aid of peasant wizard Nathaniel Ravenwood. Nathaniel has long denied his desire for the beautiful Cordelia. As a noblewoman and a Dorchada she is as dangerous to Nathaniel as a viper, but the fortune she offers is a temptation he can't refuse.

Dealing in dark magic comes with a price, and Cordelia and Nathaniel risk losing their freedom—and their hearts. Their fates depend on the one spell that will free them, or destroy them.
