A mage desperate to escape. A stranger with a dark past. An alliance that could free them both.
Seraphina is a disappointment. The daughter of a dark mage, she is unable to cast curses and can only create three charms. The sole way she can benefit her mother’s criminal empire is as a bride.
The first attempt ended badly, with her mother flying into a rage and cursing the reluctant groom to be frozen into his Bear form. Now Seraphina bides her time, practising her Creative magic and waiting for her chance to escape.
When a newcomer arrives at the fortress, Seraphina’s mother takes a strong interest in his talents. On the run from cursing the crown prince of a neighbouring kingdom, Damario could provide her dark mages with the one thing that’s missing from a curse they’re perfecting.
Seraphina’s escape plans are jeopardised when a familiar figure from her past appears. She is determined to leave the fortress, but can she manage it in time? And will Damario give Seraphina a reason to stay?
Falling for the Dark Mage is the eleventh book in the To Win a Dark Heart series which retells fairytales as old as time, but this time it’s the villain’s turn to get a happy ending.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book
This was my first time reading anything about East of the Sun, West of the Moon but I am familiar with The Frog Prince and thought this story was interesting. I enjoyed getting to know both Damario & Seraphina and was glad that they were able to get their happy ending together.
