From the bestselling author of The North Wind and The West Wind comes a sizzling fantasy romance novel featuring a fake engagement and second chance romance, inspired by Sleeping Beauty and the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

Princess Sarai of Ammara has less than three months to live before death claims her. Cursed as a child to die on her twenty-fifth nameday, she will do whatever it takes to secure her realm's future, including an arranged marriage to Prince Balior, a handsome young noble from a neighbouring kingdom. But another man vies for her attention as well: Notus, the South Wind, god of the desert breeze, and Sarai's ex-lover.

Sarai is determined to stay away from the god who betrayed her and honour her father's plan. But Balior has an agenda of his own, and as Sarai learns more about her betrothed, she realises he might be a dangerous threat to her people. So despite her hatred for Notus, she fakes their engagement to escape the arranged marriage and unearth Balior's true motives surrounding his obsession with the menacing labyrinth that sits in the palace's grounds.

Darker forces are at work, though, and time is running out. Together with Notus, Sarai must face the horrors dwelling inside the labyrinth to save herself and her realm - but in order to succeed, she must confront her pain and the monsters she carries within herself...
