The Northern Duke Needs a Warm Hug

Imperial wizard Nisha agrees to an unusual deal with King Frei and sets out to lift the curse afflicting Lanfel Delore, the Grand Duke of the North. Though he appears dark and formidable, Lanfel has a frail body that struggles through the freezing gray days of winter. As Nisha researches the curse at the Duke’s manor, she also takes on the role of his caretaker. She does not yet realize that her agreement with the king may bring her and Lanfel closer in more ways than one.
