Where living ink whispers ancient truths, the key to survival may lie in the roots they share
Lady Angela Tagert is no one’s pawn. A brilliant pharmacological botanist, she carries a secret within her skin—a living, photosynthetic tattoo. When her scheming brother sells her to the highest bidder, she makes a bold escape. A hasty marriage to a handsome stranger headed to Iceland may be far from ideal, but it buys her freedom.
Valtýr Árnason—airship captain, engineer, huldufólk—didn’t plan to return home with a wife. Smart, stubborn and beautiful, she’s a storm he never saw coming. But when a troll attacks her en route, he realizes just how deep he’s in. Past mistakes he’s kept carefully hidden are back to haunt them both.
Hunted by a villain determined to unlock the mystery of skin-bound magic, Angela and Val must unearth the truth behind a lost tradition—before it’s stolen, corrupted, and used to shatter more than kingdoms.
