In a village of masked men, magic compels each man to love only one woman and to follow the commands of his "goddessβ without question. A woman may reject the only man who will love her if she pleases, but she will be alone forever. And a man must stay masked until his goddess returns his loveβand if she canβt or wonβt, he remains masked forever. Where the rest of her village celebrates this mystery that binds men and women together, seventeen year old Noll is just done with it. Sheβs lost all her childhood friends as theyβve paired off, but the worst blow was when her closest companion, Jurij, finds his goddess in Nollβs own sister. Desperate to find a way to break this ancient spell, Noll instead discovers why no man has ever loved her: she is in fact the goddess of the mysterious lord of the village, a Byronic man who refuses to let Noll have her right as a woman to spurn him and who has the power to fight the curse. Thus begins a dangerous game between the two: the choice of woman versus the magic of man. And the stakes are no less than freedom and happiness, life and deathβand neither Noll nor the veiled man is willing to lose.
