Book description
Liga endures unspeakable cruelties at the hands of her father, before
being magically granted her own personal heaven, a safe haven from the
real world. She raises her two daughters in this alternate reality,
and they grow up protected from the violence that once harmed their
mother. But the real world cannot be denied forever . . .
Magicked men and wild bears break down the borders of Liga's refuge.
Now, having known Heaven, how will these three women survive in a
world where beauty and brutality lie side by side?
