Breath of Mist - Hardcover

by Leona Welch (Author)

He thought he captured an ordinary girl... but her mind is sharper than his claws.

In a world barely held together by a fragile treaty, Ariana lives under the oppressive shadow of her monstrous father-until Erik, a relentless conjuror determined to break the treaty, invades her lands, and takes her captive. Erik's invasion shatters the life Ariana has known, thrusting her into a precarious battle where survival hinges on earning her enemy's trust-which means avoid being seen as a threat.

But Erik never expected to become captivated by the woman who boldly holds his gaze and refuses to tremble in the face of death. And even as Ariana finds herself reluctantly drawn to him in turn, she comes to realize that her freedom will not be given to her. It will need to be taken.

Will Ariana's cunning and resolve be enough to save herself and her people, or will her dreams and heart be consumed by the very man who threatens her world?
