Ruined and shipped off to live with her mother’s relations in London, Maggie Phillips faces a long season of complete boredom living in shame as the poor relation in her uncle’s house. All because her former paramour—may the gods curse him—had promised a romantic adventure to the mystical lands of Egypt. Instead, she discovered her belongs absconded with along with her virtue, leaving naught but hastily penned apology as token for his conscience. Never again will she trust her fate to a man, Lord of the realm or otherwise.
Her mother wants to make a lady of her—Maggie desires nothing of the sort. She's delighted when a missive comes dismissing her from the London season and sending her to something else entirely. A monsters’ ball, after all, is far more interesting of a prospect for an adventure. She is already ruined, so why not shamelessly enjoy herself? The Marquis of Sheradeen Depths certainly draws her, and his haunting allure begs her to taste of the unknown. But will that sacrifice her heart?
Lord Thrane Vaskanth has little hope of finding his “song-bound” among the land dwellers. He understands little of their rituals and customs, but his grandfather had insisted Thrane try after over a century of failing to find a mate among his own people. With his first rut upon him, he has little choice left but to choose a human bride and surrender his future with a cherished song-bound mate. Though he knows that he should take care in his selection, Miss Margaret Phillips tempts him beyond reason. After a shared moonlit kiss, he is consumed with the need to capture her, bind her to him, and master her restless spirit.
Song-bound or not, she is his and no amount of danger, occult portals, or difficulty shall stop him. One more kiss will never be enough.
