A tall, poor, thirty-year-old noblewoman who has resigned herself to spinsterhood is stunned when her father arranges a marriage to a wealthy, powerful lord—who turns out to be half-orc. As Iolanthe navigates unfamiliar orcish courtship customs and her own awakening desire, she and her intended husband discover an unexpected tenderness and attraction neither anticipated. The story is a lighter, sweeter entry in its fantasy world, focused on a shy heroine's sexual and emotional self-discovery alongside a devoted monstrous hero.
