She must control her power or be an outcast for the rest of her life, but mastering that magic might destroy her world forever.

Alaysha is a young witch with a terrible power, and her war-mongering father wants to control it. But magic with that kind of force isn't easy to keep in check, not even for the witch who wields it.

It makes her a thing to be feared, not loved. A thing to abhor, not embrace.

It also makes her the perfect weapon.

When Alaysha is ordered to annihilate a neighboring village, she discovers someone has finally escaped her deadly power. Someone handsome, arrogant, and mysterious.

Someone who says he knows the secret to guiding her destructive magic.

But there is always a price to pay for such freedom and if she trusts this stranger to help, she might be putting everything she knows, including her heart, at risk.

Fans of Ilona Andrews will love this historical fantasy with romantic adventure and a strong female lead who begins as a loner and outcast but ultimately find her true power
