In this romantasy from the New York Times–bestselling author, a hard-bodied spiritual leader tempted by his handmaiden trades celibacy for sensual bliss.

As head priest of the Shadowdwellers, Magnus is a spiritual leader in a warrior's body, presiding over a realm where darkness reigns supreme. When his servant betrays him, he must take on another, despite his reluctance to trust a woman. And the beautiful slave given to him is more than he bargained for. Daenaira's captivating mix of fire and innocence tempt him like no other woman has before.

As Magnus and Daenaira surrender to the passionate pulse between them, a powerful enemy plots to take down the Sanctuary of the Shadowdwellers. Now Magnus must summon all his strength to protect his own—including the woman who has laid claim to him, body and soul.
