A Wildflower in the Wind

A deadly illness.
A brutal enemy.
A seductive threat.

The Lonely Death, a mysterious illness so contagious, its victims are doomed to die alone behind closed doors, is spreading throughout Desia—a kingdom where having magic is illegal, and those found hiding it are put to death. Azalea couldn’t save her mother, but she’s determined to protect those she has left, spending every night searching for a cure in the petals of the fabled moonflowers growing in her garden.

But when Azalea's best friend uses magic in front of the Royal Army to save her during a brutal attack, everything changes. Desperate to not lose another person she loves, she makes a decision—one that forces her into captivity at the hands of the enemy: the cold, arrogant, and infuriatingly magnetic Fae commander of the wicked Black King.

Condemned to a lifetime of servitude in the Black King’s castle, Azalea finds herself under the Commander’s constant watch. But Desia's darkest secrets lie within the palace walls, and the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because the greatest threat isn’t the evil Black King or the deadly plague spreading further every day.
It’s the Commander—and the way her body hums with his every touch.
