The town of Mistaken has a secret. . . . Mistaken is a tiny settlement in the beautiful but brutal Canadian wilderness blessed with rich natural resources—and cursed with unspeakable dangers. Just outside the town’s Warding Stones lurk the Bright-Eyeds, insatiable monsters who have rained utter destruction down on nearby villages. Mistaken’s founders made a deal to protect those who live there, but at a steep cost: anyone who spends a night within its borders belongs to it forever. Until the day when the man Greer Mackenzie loves disappears beyond the Warding Stones, pursued by a terrifying creature. Determined to rescue him, Greer must find a way to defy Mistaken’s curse and brave the cold and pitiless wilderness. But she herself is being hunted, not only by the ruthless Bright-Eyeds but by the hidden truths behind Mistaken’s founding and her own origins.

Long ago and far away (and somewhere south of France) lies the kingdom of Esquaveta. There, Princess Tullia is in nearly as much peril as her struggling kingdom. Esquaveta desperately needs to forge an alliance, and to that end, Tullia's father has arranged a marriage between her and an odious prince. However, one month before the "wedding of the century," Tullia falls in love with a lowly apprentice scribe. The king turns to Anatole, his much-maligned magician. Seventeen years earlier, when Anatole first came to the castle, he was regarded as something of a prodigy. But after a long series of failures—the latest being an attempt to transform sand into gold—he has become the object of contempt and ridicule. The only one who still believes in him is the princess. When the king orders Anatole to brew a potion that will ensure Tullia agrees to the wedding, Anatole is faced with an impossible choice. With one chance to save the marriage, the kingdom, and, of most importance to him, his reputation, will he betray the princess—or risk ruin?
