In a world where curses are real and love can be your greatest weapon or deadliest weakness, Evangeline Fox awakens to a nightmare. Her memories are gone, replaced by confusion and a handsome stranger claiming to be her husband-Apollo Acadian, prince of the Magnificent North. As she wanders through Wolf Hall castle with its dragon-shaped door handles and blue glass windows revealing snow-covered landscapes, something feels terribly wrong. Apollo insists her memories were stolen by someone trying to tear them apart, warning her against a monster named Lord Jacks who allegedly poisoned him on their wedding night and framed her for murder. "Some memories," Apollo whispers as he leaves her for the night, "might be better left forgotten." Days pass in a blur of luxury and confusion as Evangeline tries to piece together her identity. The Council of Great Houses pressures Apollo to produce an heir quickly, suggesting it would demonstrate Evangeline's loyalty. When Lord Byron Belleflower implies she might have worked with Lord Jacks to poison Apollo, the prince erupts in fury, ending all discussion about replacing her and redirecting focus on capturing Jacks. "Until he's dead," Apollo declares, "no one is safe." Throughout Wolf Hall, "LORD JACKS WANTED DEAD or ALIVE" posters show a shadowy figure with dark holes for eyes. During a spectacular "Firenight" celebration-bonfires lit across the kingdom as blessings for their marriage-Apollo kisses Evangeline passionately as fireworks explode overhead. Yet her heart whispers "danger."
