About this book
The prince cannot die, except on his wedding night. Sorrel Marsh has killed eleven people, and every one of them thanked her for the wine. So when a stranger offers ten thousand crowns and her little sister's freedom for one more death, she doesn't ask questions. She takes a dead noblewoman's name and enters the Nightshade Trials: seven deadly tests in which thirteen women compete to marry Dacian Severin, heir of a living garden that heals every wound he takes. Every wound but one. On the night of his Binding, from the last bell until first light, the prince is mortal, and his bride's hand is the only one close enough.
