She's sworn to protect the realm. Her heart has other plans.

Lady Ammalie Avington, Baroness of Faebarrow, knows it's not safe to pine after the son of a demon. Especially not the blood mage who threatened and abducted her and now intends to bring ruin to the realm. The very realm she is sworn to serve. It's just a terribly inconvenient fact because, well…he's rather cute.

Despite her best efforts, Amma can't seem to get him out of her mind, not whilst locked up in a tower surrounded by infernal beings, nor trapped below ground in a den of beguiling vampires, and definitely not in the heart of a wild jungle under the tutelage of esoteric witches. She just can't help herself around Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne, danger be damned. And what danger is there? Damien's heart, the one he swears to not have, has been softening right before her eyes. Perhaps with her guidance, Damien won't rain chaos and destruction down on the world. Perhaps she can even save them both as Damien searches for a way to magically unlink them on their quest to fulfill their destinies.

So, when Amma learns she may have ancient, innate magical powers of her own, why not use them to do exactly as she pleases?
