From the author of the Bargainer series comes the prequel to Bewitched. Two thousand years before there was Selene, there was Roxilana. Her love fated, her life doomed, and her story forgotten―until now.

When Roxilana hears a voice inside her head, she believes she's gone mad. This voice, Memnon, claims he is her god-touched soul mate, one who has the ability to wield magic. Not only that, but he believes Roxilana possesses magic too.

Wild though his claims are, Roxilana realizes Memnon speaks the truth. First, her power Awakens. Then, Memnon, King of the Sarmatians, shows up at her door in Rome, proclaims her as his wife, and takes her to his homeland.

Roxilana's fate is everything she hoped for. But there are things Memnon didn't tell her–about his magic, life as a Sarmatian, and what she, as queen, will have to endure. And as she soon learns, nothing is as dangerous as love and power. While the combination can build empires and legacies, it is capable of destroying everything and everyone in its path. And if Roxilana and Memnon are not careful, it could destroy them along with it.

This was a good story and understanding the back story of Memon and Roxilana. In the beginning, the pace of the story was slow and I started to dose off, but it was later in the story, the pace and action picked up.

My only complaint about this story is that I should have read this first before reading the other two books. It was still a good book, nonetheless and the story is now complete.

Laura Thalassa is an amazing writer and storyteller. I love how she captures her reader's attention and never lets it go until the very end. Overall, I gave this story 4 stars. Even with it slow start, I'll still recommend this series to everyone.

Great story, but slow start!

In my opinion Roxy shouldn’t have sounded so whiney. She’s supposed to be a queen but sounds very timid.

Loved the story

This book made me love this series. The character building is exceptional and the storyline all fits. Now I can’t wait to see what the fourth book brings. I kind of wished I read this one first! The narrators were amazing too.

Best book of the series so far
