“Three hundred years ago, the woman he loved drove a blade into the Devil's heart. He has never forgiven her. Now Elowen Marrow, an apothecary with nine poisons hidden on her body and twelve months left to live, is delivered to Ashfall as his seventh bride. She wears the face of the enemy he hates most. He wants her blood. She wants his library, and the truth about the curse killing her family. One vow binds them: neither can ever lie to the other. But the Devil's palace is full of secrets. Six dead brides left warnings in the walls. A stone glows silver for her alone. And his closest friend keeps checking her wrist for a mark. Marry the Devil to break her family's curse. Fall for him, and she may be the only woman alive who can end him. Some loves are born to be tragedies. Some are chosen anyway.”
