Oliana never believed in the Night Marchers—until she stumbles into their path and faces the punishment of death. Her only hope? Bargaining with a hauntingly handsome Night Marcher chief to break his own curse. Now, with the clock ticking and one month to live, she's caught in a web of ancient magic, tribal rivalries, and an unwanted betrothal—to the very spirit who might be her undoing.
Keanu, chief of a neighboring island and bound to a spectral fate, is everything a girl could want—strong, honorable, and distractingly charming. But even as he woos her over nightly ginger tea, Oliana knows better than to trust a man cursed to an eternity as a ghost. With every riddle they solve and secret they uncover, her feelings grow more complicated… and her heart more vulnerable. Can she resist the allure of his haunting presence?
As threats mount—an enemy tribe, a shadowy warlord, and an unknown assassin—Oliana realizes the cost of her own soul and Keanu’s eternity. Can she outwit a curse and survive her heart’s desire? Or will her one month run out before she can rewrite both their fates?
