The Circlet (Artifacts of Avalum, #2)

Aurora Daniels has been kicked out of Avalum, a deadly world ruled by a deadly sorcerer. But her best friend, Ivy, remains behind as a prisoner. Aurora must work with Ivy's brother, Garret, to free her friend before time runs out. The only problem is that Aurora hates Garret. Touching him makes her ill, and spending time with him puts her into a murderous rage. But for one hour a day, Aurora remembers that she loves Garret with all of her heart, and that the hatred she feels for him is part of an evil curse placed on her by the unlawful ruler of Avalum. Can Rory save her friend and break her curse, or will she forever lose the man she loves?
