Germany, 1939. A tumbledown farmhouse, on the outskirts of a close-knit village in the heart of the rolling hills of Bavaria. A once happy family home torn apart by Nazi rule. And one young girl who refuses to give up on what she believes in...London, 2018: When 94-year-old Imogen receives a letter addressed to her in neat, unfamiliar handwriting, she notices the postmark is stamped from Germany - and it sends shivers down her spine....

A land where witches wear their spells like tattoos is no place for a woman without a single magical mark—except for Raven, whose unblemished skin contradicts the truth of her power. Surviving under the scowls of her fellow witches has carved indelible scars into her mind over the years—just as the day she watched the Dark King's men murder her grandmother in cold blood. But the Dark King's reign of terror is far-reaching, and Raven's grandmother won't be the last witch to die under his rule.

When a murderer with a vendetta threatens the royal heirs of Rodina, they are sent to Zoris to stay with King Chazriel until the threat is neutralized. But when the king falls for the wrong woman, things get complicated. Chaz discovers he is fated to Ameli, the Autumn Princess, but he knows their magical bond will not form until her coronation day. Deciding not to reveal their fates, he occupies his time with Lyna, a feisty maid from the Autumn Palace. But as his feelings for her grow and their time together runs out, he wonders, what if fate is wrong?
