博客來A runaway scholar. A warrior haunted by his past. And the curse that will break them... or bind them forever.
Hypatia dreamed of becoming an academic-until her research was used for treason. When her past threatens to catch up with her, the mage decides to seek safety abroad. But in so doing, she’s tricked into taking another’s place as the bride of a grim warrior on a monster-infested frontier.
Obsessed with fame and fortune, Sigimar gained glory battling the curse shrouding a nearby kingdom-and lost his brother in the process. Disillusioned and grief-stricken, the hulking elf is ordered to marry a princess whose magic can keep the curse at bay. Except he weds Hypatia, a beautiful substitute he yearns for but knows he must set free.
Hypatia refuses to become monster fodder, which means journeying to Sigimar’s king to dissolve their marriage contract. Yet in the shelter of Sigimar’s embrace she finds a kindred spirit and an inescapable passion. Can she muster the courage to face certain death, or will she choose her freedom and abandon the gentle warrior she’s come to love?
Isles of Corruption is the third steamy romantasy book in the Mages of Oblivion series. If you love contract marriages, pining, cinnamon roll heroes, and Norse-inspired fantasy settings, escape into Isles of Corruption!
