House of Shifting Tides

Twice upon a time, a princess fell in love with a beast.

I was reborn with no memory of my previous life and no powers, save for transforming into an aberration most want eliminated. Among the few who don’t wish me dead are the Shabbin queen, Fallon, her mate, Lorcan, and Cathal Baeinach-Fallon’s father and my self-appointed sentry.

Despite my best efforts, I cannot understand why the Crow King’s boorish general has decided to guard me, a woman he can barely stand to look at. I may lack education and be physically unpleasing, but do I deserve such scorn? More importantly, though, if he’s repulsed by me, then why stay?

When I suggest he leave, he reminds me that he’s one of the most lethal males in the realm. And while he may be that, he’s also one of the most infuriating. A male who makes my blood run hot with equal measure irritation and lust.

Why must I be drawn to the brute who loathes me?

And why, when I forge a magical mind link to another male, must I keep hungering for the Crow-who-finally-left?
