For Better or for Curse - Hardcover

by Tanya Bird (Author)

The future must be seen to be believed. And theirs will ignite an empire.

Aisha knows what becomes of women born with gifts. She watched her mother burn for hers, leaving her kingdom broken and her father drowning in grief. Now the Emperor is tightening his grip on Avanid, and Aisha and her sisters vow to reclaim power the only way left to them-through marriage. Enter the Crown Prince of Gruisea, a man of quiet intensity with secrets of his own. But falling for her husband was never part of the plan. As political tensions sharpen and feelings grow, Aisha must master her gift before it destroys everything she loves.

Tariq has built his life on loyalty and duty to the crown. But now that crown bows to the Emperor, and the kingdom he's sworn to protect teeters on the edge of ruin. His betrothal to Princess Aisha is more than a political bargain-it's a chance to secure Gruisea's survival. Yet the more he gets to know her, the more he realises this is no longer just about politics. With rebellion stirring and enemies pressing in, Tariq must figure out whether Aisha's gift will be Gruisea's salvation-or its undoing.

For Better or for Curse is a sweeping romantasy about power, rebellion, and family bonds-perfect for readers who love smart heroines, slow-burn romance, a sprinkle of action, and plenty of angst.
