SUMMARY:
When a kappa king rises from the dark waters of Fortunate Lake to claim Olwen’s only child as his winter bride, Olwen makes an unthinkable bargain. She promises to spend every winter in the monster’s mountain cabin—trading her freedom, her future, and perhaps her life—so her daughter can escape to Reality and attend a Normal human university.
But winter is cruel, promises are binding, and the kappa’s intentions are far darker than Olwen imagined.
As a blizzard traps Olwen with King Pulcro in his ramshackle mountain cabin, an unexpected protector appears: Sir David Cullhook, a knight long rumored to be cursed to love Olwen. Forced into close quarters by storm and fate, Olwen must confront her trauma, dangerous magic, and a question she never thought she’d dare to ask—can love chosen freely heal what love twisted by power has destroyed?
