From the bestselling author of The North Wind and The West Wind comes a sizzling fantasy romance novel featuring a fake engagement and second chance romance, inspired by Sleeping Beauty and the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
Princess Sarai of Ammara has less than two months to live. Cursed as a child to die on her twenty-fifth nameday, she will do whatever it takes to secure her realm’s future, including an arranged marriage to Prince Balior of Um Salim. But another man vies for her attention: Notus, the South Wind, god of the desert breeze, and Sarai’s ex-lover.
Sarai is determined to stay away from the god who betrayed her and honour her father’s plan. But Prince Balior has an obsession with the menacing labyrinth that sits within the palace walls, and soon Sarai realises that her intended might be a dangerous threat to her people. To escape the marriage and save her kingdom, Sarai fakes an engagement to the god she hates.
Time is running out. Together with Notus, Sarai must face the horrors dwelling inside the labyrinth if she hopes to save the kingdom and break her curse – but in order to succeed, she must confront the monsters she carries within herself…
