In a village of masked men, each man is compelled to love only one woman and to follow the commands of his “goddess” without question. A woman may reject the only man who will love her if she pleases, but she will be alone forever. A man must stay masked until his goddess returns his love—and if she can’t or won’t, he remains masked forever.
Seventeen-year-old Noll’s childhood friends have paired off and her closest companion, Jurij, found his goddess in Noll’s own sister. Desperate to find a way to break this ancient spell, Noll instead discovers why no man has ever chosen her. She is in fact the goddess of the mysterious lord of the village, a man who refuses to let Noll have her right as a woman to spurn him.
Thus begins a dangerous game between the choice of woman and the magic of man. The stakes are no less than freedom and happiness, life and death—and neither Noll nor the veiled lord is willing to lose.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
SPOILERS
OMG Noll was a stupid Mary-Sue. Complaining about the situation she's in only to find out that she caused it! She was completely unlikable, in fact everyone in this stupid book was.
The only reason I finished it was because stupid me kept thinking that it would get better.
No. It didn't.
Don't waste your time. I can't even remember what happened in the end and I consider that an improvement.
