What if true love wasn't lost--but taken by magic?
From New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes a whimsical romantic fantasy where an estranged royal couple must brave an enchanted realm--and their own hearts--to reclaim what was stolen.
Once, Prince Ambrose and Princess Imelda were in love. But to survive a witch's curse, they surrendered the most sacred thing they had: their love for one another. A year and a day later, they are bound by marriage yet emotionally adrift, strangers sharing a throne--and silence.
When a twist of fate offers them a rare chance to reverse the spell, they must set off together on a quest through a realm of magical riddles, talking beasts, and bewitching landscapes. But even more daunting than the trials ahead is the truth they've long forgotten: how it felt to be in love and why it mattered.
