Audience

Hatori Chise’s life has been marked by neglect and abuse until a startling encounter changes everything. Taken by a powerful sorcerer with a beast-like head, she is freed and told she will become his apprentice—and his bride.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, magical romance with growth and enchantment; Not for you if you prefer lighthearted stories like A Lull in the Sea or My Happy Marriage.
