Fantasy
Ilse Zhalina is the daughter of one of
Melnek’s more prominent merchants. She has lived most of her
life surrounded by the trappings of wealth and
privilege. Many would consider hers a happy
lot. But there are dark secrets, especially in the
best of families. Ilse has learned that for a
young woman of her beauty and social station, to be passive
and silent is the best way to survive. When Ilse
finally meets the older man she is to marry, she
realizes he is far crueler and more deadly than her
father could ever be. Ilse chooses to run. This choice will
change her life forever. And it will lead her to Raul
Kosenmark, master of one of the land’s most notorious
pleasure houses…and who is, as Ilse discovers, a
puppetmaster of a different sort altogether. Ilse
discovers a world where every pleasure has a price and there
are levels of magic and intrigue she once thought
unimaginable. She also finds the other half of her heart.
