In a village of masked men, each man is compelled to love only one woman and to follow the commands of his "goddess" without question.

Desperate to find a way to break this ancient spell, Noll instead discovers why no man has ever chosen her. She is in fact the goddess of the mysterious lord of the village, a man who refuses to let Noll have her right as a woman to spurn him.Thus begins a dangerous game between the choice of woman and the magic of man. The stakes are no less than freedom and happiness, life and death-and neither Noll nor the veiled lord is willing to lose.Winner of The Romance Reviews' Summer 2016 Readers' Choice Award in Young Adult Romance.
