Eden De La Cruz is a master of black magic, a madman hellbent on vengeance, plagued by a mysterious voice in his head that only he can hear. After twenty years away, he returns home to the puritanical village of Thornhaven to curse the people with perpetual winter and to murder the heartless tyrant responsible for the death of his mother.

In the midst of his unholy snowstorm, he finds Aria Raine, the only girl who ever cared for him, the girl he once gave a rose to, grown now into a compassionate woman trapped in a loveless marriage to a cruel and abusive man.

When Aria finds a red rose on her pillow, she fears the man she knows left it there, terrified by the rumors of his sinister magic. After two decades apart, fate brings them together again, and Aria’s fear slowly wanes as she begins to see more of the timid boy he once was. And the closer Eden gets to her, the deeper he aches for the life he lost, while the mysterious voice in his head only grows angrier and ever more determined to keep them apart...
