11 parts Complete At sixteen, Adira was banished to the island of Banau after committing treason: saving the life of her brother, the Crown Prince, with witchcraft.
For the past five years, the only visitors to Banau have been those after the bounty placed on her head. Until a boat arrives, carrying an injured young woman, her two brothers, and her husband. Adira finds herself using her witchcraft to heal instead of kill again, stirring up feelings she thought she'd long buried.
Her price is simple: leave Banau, tell no one what she did, and never return.
Zarad, one of the brothers, ignores her wishes and decides to stay and serve Adira for one year. The price was not fair, and she needs someone.
Adira is convinced she needs no one and wants him gone, but he might be even more stubborn than she is.
He might also be right.
