Can a man whose heart is literally turning to stone be cured by a princess who thinks he's a god? And should someone tell her he's really just a mathematician?

Dan has spent his entire life proving that logic is superior to feeling. His mother called him an abomination. His colleagues call him brilliant. He calls himself right — right up until the moment his heart starts calcifying inside his chest, which is the kind of poetic justice a mathematician really doesn't appreciate.

The cure is five thousand years away in pre-dynastic Egypt. The woman who holds it thinks he's Osiris.

Takhara has dreamed of a broken god who needs healing hands. She's a princess sworn to virginity, bound to a throne that will kill her if she chooses love — and her own brother has the assignment. Then Dan appears, stone-hearted in every possible sense, and Takhara recognises the god she was born to mend.

Dan would like to point out that he's not a god, he's a dying academic with a calcium problem. Takhara would like to point out that the distinction doesn't matter if he'd just stop arguing and let her save his life.

The problem is that saving him means choosing him. And choosing him means death by crocodile.

A mathematician who turned his heart to stone. A princess who can heal it — if her family doesn't kill her first. And a love that defies five thousand years of logic.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
