Bride of Darkwater - Wendy Godding

She was raised to believe the world was divided into good and evil-until she was forced to marry the enemy. To secure peace in a centuries-old feud, Princess Isolde must surrender her soulmate and true love-and bind herself instead to the monstrous Duke Jasper. As she speaks her wedding vows, she makes a silent promise of her own: earn her husband's trust, uncover his weaknesses, and destroy him from within. But a powerful curse forces Isolde to travel with Jasper to Darkwater, plunging her into a realm of dark magic, mythical creatures, and dragons that defies everything she believed about good and evil. As tension simmers and forbidden attraction ignites, Isolde begins to question the truths she was raised on-and the enemy she swore to kill. When a devastating secret comes to light, Isolde's world threatens to collapse. Her crown, her marriage, and her life hang in the balance-and choosing the wrong side could cost her everything. Perfect for fans of romantasy, forced marriage, enemies to lovers, dragon-filled fantasy, dark magic, and morally gray heroes. Paperback includes: a custom designed fore-edge printed page edge and beautiful chapter headings
