Marcus and Rosalind are engaged! And while he has every hope things will go well, they still have a lot to plan and a major hurdle to leap, namely his father. Theodore seems neutral about his choice of partner, if not thrilled they are from the coven's suspicious Second Family, but will that last when the marital negotiations begin? And will Rosalind allow their future father-in-law to bully them into getting his way, or will they stand their ground? (Story takes place after the events of Blood and Thorns and contains spoilers for it - read at your own risk!!)
