My new witch powers tether me to the grumpy orc. I can't get more than twenty feet away from him! When I storm out of my ex's engagement party, a meddling goddess whisks me away to Faerie and marries me to a massive grump of an orc. As if that's not enough, I can't leave his side without my teleportation magic throwing me straight back into his arms! I dreamed of leaving my small town and traveling, but I never imagined anything like this. I feel like I landed in one of the books I love, with fated mates and close proximity dialed up to eleven. Wranth's gorgeously muscled body and exciting air of warrior prowess sure don't hurt any either. Then there's his swoon-worthy vow to protect me. I'm supposed to reopen the doors of Faerie and return magic to Earth—if enemies don't stop me first. It'll also break the tether and allow me to go home to friends and family. But the longer I'm with Wranth, the harder it is to picture life without him . . . Contains mature themes.Zum Buch
