Bluebeard's Secret

This COMPLETED romantic fantasy series will grab you by the collar and pull you along into a world of magic and mystery that one reader described as "sophisticated fantasy." He's been stealing brides for centuries and now he's stolen her. Izolda is as chilly and practical as her icy homeland. The prospect of an arranged marriage to a much older man doesn't worry her. But when a stranger arrives, kills her would-be husband and claims her as his bride instead, citing a law she's never heard of, she is left with a tangled problem on her hands. On the one hand, her king wishes for her to become a spy for her homeland. On the other hand, her new husband needs her as his pawn in a dangerous all-consuming fairyland game that might determine the fate of her nation more than a king ever could. To make matters worse, her husband does not hide his former brides from her - or his intention that her fate will be the same as theirs. But his surprising kindness, hidden depths, and hinted plans might just persuade her to join him despite that. Choosing wrong will mean the desolation of everyone she loves, for failure in this world will mean ruination in the other. And trusting the wrong people here, may well sink nations there. Worse yet, her heart seems to be falling very quickly in love with the worst possible choice of man - her husband. The stakes couldn't be higher and Izolda couldn't be more torn. With a crafty husband, a severed-head best friend who gives surprisingly good advice, and the common sense her mother gave her, Izolda must choose well. Can she win at a game a thousand years in the making?
