A Darkness So Sweet
Traded for peace. Sacrificed to a monster.
Maia Fremont just wanted a chance. When the opportunity to create floral arrangements for the royal wedding is offered to her, who is she to say no? But the crown is never honest, and soon enough she finds herself thrust into an unwanted union with a fearsome troll. Ripped from her beloved garden and the only life she's ever known, she's offered as a bride to a creature she's only heard whispers of-rumors of brutality, darkness, and insatiable hunger.
Ragnar, a powerful troll healer, is disgusted by the human king's deception. His duty to his people forces him to accept this lie of a marriage. His bride is a fragile human instead of the strong half elven mate he expected. Her meager magic is an insult, but honor and allegiance bind him to her. No matter how much he hates it.
Married to a beast who sees her as nothing more than a tool to strengthen his bloodline, Maia must fight for her life in the treacherous world of the trolls. But in their kingdom Deep within the mountain, she must balance her growing attraction for her gruff, surprisingly poetic husband against the lurking dangers in this strange new world-especially when the growing darkness threatens to tear them apart.

Cozy Pairings
Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.
Why we chose this: Maia was traded to a troll healer as a bride in a king's act of deception. Astrid was handed to a gladiator pit by a man who owed a debt. In a world of ancient wilds and cursed lands, these are stories about women finding unexpected safety in the arms of those they were taught to fear. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding warmth of a series where something solid and lasting is being built in the most unlikely circumstances, the scent of old stone and quiet strength and spaces where trust grows slowly and holds. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like a mountain kingdom where the old magic is real and the hardest walls are the ones people build around themselves.
