It is called a Love Curse.
Ophelia McQuoid's witch soul is bound inside a towering red crystal, released only once every fifty years for a mere thirty days. The terms of her freedom are deceptively simple: an immortal must trade his life for hers. But curses are never merciful. There is a clause.
She must make him fall in love with her-and not just desire, not obsession, not pity. It must be the truest form of love.
After two hundred and fifty years of failed attempts, Ophelia has learned a cruel truth: thirty days is not enough time to earn a love deep enough to damn an immortal.
Especially when the curse tethers her close to the crystal, a silent prison she can never truly escape.
When she awakens again, something is wrong.
The crystal is no longer just a vessel-it is draining her life force. If she fails this time, Ophelia will not return in fifty years. She will fade into the glass forever, erased from the world she once knew.
And then she meets him.
A vampire king-ancient, powerful, arrogant-who is nothing like the careful, distant immortals before him. He is daring. Obnoxious. Infuriatingly attentive. And worst of all, he refuses to let her go.
For the first time in centuries, Ophelia's curse may finally be breakable.
Or it may destroy them both.
