Synopsis

For five years, Katy’s barrenness has been her protection from a magical debt. Now she’s running out of time.

The bargain that promised her firstborn child to a stranger has haunted Katy’s marriage from the beginning. She’s clung to one fragile hope: that the magical bargain wasn’t about Prince Axel at all, but the childhood friend she barely remembers.

But when she finally becomes pregnant and long-suppressed memories surface, that hope shatters.

Axel deserves the painful truth – and when it finally comes out, the revelation becomes the missing piece in a conspiracy neither of them saw coming. The threats closing in around them, the council’s pressure, even the attempt on Axel’s life – it’s all connected to that single, impossible bargain.

Now Katy and Axel must work together to unravel a plot that reaches deeper than either imagined, before the enemies pulling the strings can claim their long-awaited child.

Don’t miss the exciting conclusion of this clean fantasy romance retelling of Rumpelstiltskin x Phantom of the Opera, where wit and intrigue fill the pages. Pick up Spirits and Pacts (part two of a duology) and lose yourself in the music and magic of the third book in The Roumaterra Chronicles, Erin Halbmaier’s debut series of interconnected standalone fairytales. If you missed part one, snag Songs and Spun Gold first!
