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 Margaretβs βlostβ novel, The Prince of Costanzo. Though desperate to read it, every time Esther opens the book, she falls asleepβand 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 wonderβ¦is he the real villain, or a hero who only wants to save his kingdom? All she knows is that now that sheβs had a taste of Costanzoβand Dragoβher real life troubles seem insignificant.
Until they come crashing around her, threatening to cut her off from the man she loves. Forever.
