When Circe Quinn wakes up in a corral wearing sacrificial robes in a world she's never seen, she discovers she's been transported to a parallel universe—and things get even more complicated when a powerful, magnetic king claims her as his bride and future queen. Separated by language, culture, and the sheer impossibility of her situation, Circe has to navigate her new role as Queen of a fierce, primitive people while desperately trying to figure out how (or if) she can get home. But as she finds her footing in this brutal land and gets to know its people, something unexpected happens: she begins to fall for the king who brought her here, even as the mystery of her arrival deepens. It's a wild, genre-bending romance about stepping into the unknown and discovering that home might not be a place—it might be a person.
