To Love the Wicked
Black Magic is forbidden in the Kingdom of Basvellia, a taboo only a handful of people practice in secret. Isabelle, the first princess of Basvellia takes after her mother in image, who was uncovered to be a wicked black witch who rose to power by cursing the current emperor. But her personality and morals are against anything her mother had tried to push on her as a child. With a kingdom that regards her as a threat Isabelle’s father offers her as a sacrifice to the blood thirsty neighboring Kingdom of Cavnos, a territory known for its aggressive royalty. In an attempt to cool the growing tension of war Isabelle is faced with the near impossible task of befriending the Kingdom where playing dirty tricks to gain power is how you rise to the throne. Will the royal family of Cavnos eat her alive? Or will the promise of marriage save Isabelle from certain death.
