Publisher's summary

In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it's coming for Clara.

Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage.

From her birth, her entire life has been planned out-only what a future wife in society needs to know. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs.

For the first time in her life, something unexpected happens. Clara falls ill, and none of the usual methods can save her. With their daughter on the brink of death, when her future alliance is already settled, her desperate father finally calls on a man whose expertise is in the banned arts. It's a dangerous move, one that threatens all that her parents have built.

Now, an illegitimate wizard is Clara's only hope of survival. And under his care, an unforeseen side effect develops. Magic awakens in Clara, gifting her with a second chance. Her entire life, she has resisted the lure of magic.

Nothing has prepared her to deny the temptation of the only man willing to save her . . . from herself.
