He is a monster in human skin, and from the moment she takes her wedding vows, Jenna knows that life under his thumb will be one of utter horror. If Jenna is to survive, she must find a way to break free – and for a princess born into a soft cage, the journey into a cold, harsh kingdom is a perilous one indeed…
