El lobo y la serpiente

Vaasa Kozár is convinced that death is stalking her, for the strange magic that killed her mother seems to have awakened within her. Her ruthless brother, determined to exploit this curse for his own gain, betroths her to Reid of Mireh, a ruthless foreign ruler, hoping that Vaasa's inevitable demise will provide him with a pretext to invade her nation. But she is not about to make it easy for him: she agrees to the marriage with the firm intention of escaping, armed with the political acumen and combat skills her late father taught her. However, to her surprise, she discovers that Reid is a more cunning rival than she had anticipated. He offers to tell her everything he knows about the powerful magic coursing through her veins in exchange for her help in seizing power. As her brother's deadly scheme unfolds, Vaasa must learn to trust her new ally and, above all, control the attraction that begins to blossom between her and Reid.
