Love conquers all—but sometimes, it leaves a trail of destruction.

The war between humans and demons doesn’t come to Fennica’s home until it’s already over, but when it does, her life is transformed all the same. Bastian Roft, the legendary shapeshifting demon general, arrives to seize her house, usurp her father’s title, and marry her sister to legitimize it all. It seems like no one can stop him from stealing everything dear to her, until he develops an unexpected weakness—a weakness for her. 

Bastian’s assignment to the remote swamps of the Martenmoor is meant to be a slight, but he sees it as a blessing in disguise. Here, he can start over and put his bloody past behind him. He can regain control of himself and stop shifting into the monster that destroys everything in its path. But from the moment he meets Fennica Warrel, the younger sister of his betrothed, he knows that he’s about to lose control of himself all over again. 

The war isn’t over after all. The past can’t be so easily forgotten. The bond between a demon and his mate is strong, but is it strong enough to survive the fury of the great demon bear? 

It’s all a misunderstanding—or so they think.

She ate his offering, thinking that it was nothing more than a delicious piece of cake, and started the fae mating ritual by accident. Now, they’re stuck together for three days, waiting for it to end unfinished, and she’s slowly turning into a forest fae like him, complete with green skin and the ability to magically control plant life. The dramatic effects of the transformation seem to lessen when they’re together, at least. But that seems to be just another part of the ritual’s design.

Can they make it all three days before the magic drives them both crazy? Or will they give in and complete the ritual?
