Description
Thorn Manor has sealed itself against the world: thorny hedges lash the sky, topiaries prowl like guard animals, and the wind itself hisses disapproval. Elisabeth Scrivener and Magister Nathaniel Thorn need to get these ancient wards under control before the city’s biggest event—the Midwinter Ball—arrives on their doorstep. Their best ally? Silas, Nathaniel’s demon servant, who cooks like a saint and threatens like an angel. Together, they untangle dusty family grimoires, chase down a long-lost muniment room, and accidentally unleash Aunt Clothilde’s cursed wardrobe on the entire house. The solution isn’t brute force. It’s tradition—old sorcerous courtship rites that ask for three impossible deeds. Between healing old hurts, confronting Nathaniel’s nightmares, learning to dance in a hidden ballroom, and crossing a frozen garden that hasn’t existed in years, Elisabeth and Nathaniel discover that the wards aren’t just testing their magic. They’re testing their promises. The question isn’t whether they’ll make it to the ball. It’s whether they’ll choose each other when they get there.
