Description

Lohiriel, second daughter of the poison-renowned House Casyan, has only one year to live. Her sole chance at survival lies with a rare plant grown only in the imperial gardens. She proposes a contract marriage to the crown prince: in exchange for a year at his side, she'll create a treatment to heal the ailing emperor. What begins as a desperate bargain becomes an opportunity for Lohiriel to use her medical knowledge to help far more people than she ever imagined.
