A Promise of Gold
The Magick and Malice Series, Book 4
By Stephanie Lee
A Sapphic Fairytale inspired by Rumplestiltskin
Bargains are her currency, and her lethal beauty lures in those brave enough to speak her name aloud. Predator and monster of legend, Ransym rules over the Dark Forest while watching humans and their kings destroy themselves with greed and power. But the immortal being of fire and shadow answers to no kings.
Twenty-two year old Marigold lives with her parents and helps support her family through hard labor. A champion of her people, she seeks to liberate them from their forced station in life and return all they’re owed from the monarchy. Foolishly daring to pass through the demon’s forest, she’s caught and lured into a friendship with the dangerous but sexy immortal.
Never did the seemingly average human woman think she would be drawn to the ultimate predator until the demon saves her life and alters the path of their futures. Together, demon and human uncover hidden magick and true evil lurking in their land.
Fighting to free the kingdom from the clutches of a bigger monster than either of them expected, they discover the demon’s bargains come with far-reaching consequences.
