Stuck in an uninteresting job and settled in a safe but
vaguely unsatisfying relationship, the only bright spot in
Esther's life is her writing. She's fascinated by colorful
life of her ancestor Margaret Marsden, a nineteenth-century
Gothic romance novelist. A woman who mysteriously
disappeared without a trace.
A weekend away turns into a hunt for clues when Esther
stumbles across Margaret’s “lost” novel, The Prince of
Costanzo. Though desperate to read it, every time Esther
opens the book, she falls asleep—and headlong into amazingly
vivid dreams about Costanzo.
But in this dream world where war, magic and poisoning are
commonplace, nothing is as it seems. Least of all the
supposed villain of the novel, the enigmatic sorcerer Prince
Drago. She finds herself kidnapped to his castle and
subjected to a seductive interrogation that curls her toes.
As their feelings for each other grow more powerful, she
begins to wonder…is he the real villain, or a hero who only
wants to save his kingdom? All she knows is that now that
she’s had a taste of Costanzo—and Drago—her real life
troubles seem insignificant.
Until they come crashing around her, threatening to cut her
off from the man she loves. Forever.
