When interior designer William Frank is commissioned to redesign a ballroom, the timing couldn't be better. His career in the capital came to an abrupt end after he was accused of practicing magic, and to salvage his reputation, he accepts a commission in the secluded city-state of Bloodgrove. His client, Duchess Elodie, is the last member of the Ormonde family and is fighting the other noble houses for the powerful position of the King's Red Hand. Her greatest enemy is the handsome Eric Arcos. Perhaps Will's magic is the answer, for he carries a god within him. But the deeper Will delves into the world of Bloodgrove, the more he finds himself caught between rivals Elodie and Eric—and between their hearts.

A beautifully grotesque and decadent romantasy.
