House of Shifting Tides

ONCE A FIERCE, IMMORTAL PRINCESS; NOW AN UNTAMED, MORTAL BEAST.

I was reborn with no memory of my previous life and no powers, save for transforming into an aberration most wish eliminated.

Among the few who do not wish me dead are my grandmother—the Shabbin Queen—Fallon and her mate Lorcan—the rulers of Luce—and Cathal Báeinach—Fallon’s father and my self-appointed ball and chain.

Despite my best efforts, I cannot understand why the Crow King’s boorish general has decided to guard me, a woman he can barely look at without shuddering. I may lack education and be physically repulsive, but do I deserve such scorn? More importantly, though, if he cannot stand me, then why stay?

When I suggest he leave, he reminds me that he is one of the most lethal males in the realm. And while he may be that, he is also one of the most infuriating. A male who makes my blood run hot with equal measure irritation and lust.

Why must I be drawn to the brute who loathes me?

And why, when I forge a magical mind link to another male, must I keep hungering for the Crow who—finally—left?
