Rebecca Mix spent her childhood tromping through swamps and falling out of very tall trees - which, in hindsight, explains a lot. A reluctant reader at first, she fell in love with books after joining a reading contest to spite her 4th grade nemesis. She studied English at Oakland University and now balances working full-time in PR with writing books about messy girls, eerie magic, and hope. This is her debut novel.

Résumé
Ranka is tired of death. Now she just wants to be left alone, living out her days in the wild north with the coven that raised her, attempting to forget the horrors of her past. But when she is named Bloodwinn, the next treaty bride to the human kingdom of Isodal, her coven sends her south with a single directive : kill the prince. Easy enough, for a blood-witch whose magic compels her to kill. Except the prince is gentle, kind ...
and terrified of her. He doesn't want to marry Ranka ; he doesn't want to be king at all. And it's his sister - the wickedly smart, infuriatingly beautiful Princess Aramis - who seems to be the real threat. But when witches start turning up dead, murdered by a magical plague, Aramis makes Ranka an offer : help her develop a cure, and in return she'll teach Ranka to contain her deadly magic. As the coup draws nearer and the plague spreads, Ranka is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her power, her past, and who she's meant to fight for.
Soon, she will have to decide between the coven that raised her and the princess who sees beyond the monster they shaped her to be. But as the bodies pile up, a monster may be exactly what they need...
