When Everything's Made to Be Broken

Princess Iris once believed she knew exactly how her story would end. She had a husband she loved, magic of her own, and a future that seemed certain. Then war took Cassian from her, and a year later, Iris is still trapped among the remains of a life that no longer feels like hers. With an aunt whose ambitions are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore and strange magic beginning to close around her, Iris discovers that grief may not be the only thing keeping her from moving forward.

Then she meets Howl Pendragon, the infamous wizard rumored to steal the hearts of beautiful young women. Their paths should have crossed for only a moment, and Iris has every intention of keeping it that way. But when circumstances send her fleeing from the only home she has ever known, she finds herself drawn into a world of walking castles, fire demons, witches, curses, and one impossibly irritating wizard who seems determined to see through every wall she puts between herself and the world. Iris has already learned that even the things meant to last forever can be broken. What she hasn't yet discovered is what might be waiting among the pieces.
