Silver Delacroix is ready to go through the necessary rite and gain a witch's territory. It's a path she's prepared for, a life she's been looking forward to. But when a much-feared and little-understood mark appears on her palm, she flees into elven lands — and discovers her true destiny. Raised as enemies, groomed to claim their father's position as Lord of the Southern Borderlands, half-brothers Wraith In Shadows and Tynan Carved From Stone can avoid bloodshed only by sharing a wife. The mark on Silver's palm is both confirmation and warning. She can be theirs, but their magic as well as their lives will be irrevocably bound to hers if they claim her. One look, one touch and it's a price they're willing to pay. With her at their side, harmony can be restored to the land they'll rule. With her in their bed, they'll find ecstasy.
