When a fae princess discovers her true identity after two decades in exile, she's thrust into a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin—and bound by duty to marry a stranger she's never met. Enter Thorne Blackwood, a dangerously charming man with revenge simmering in his veins and a plan to destroy everything she holds dear, except his plot backfires spectacularly when Briony proves just as cunning as he is. Now locked in an uneasy alliance to break a devastating curse, these enemies must work together toward a common goal, but the tension crackling between them threatens to consume them both. Get ready for a delicious enemies-to-lovers slowburn where manipulation, magic, and unexpected connection collide in the most swoon-worthy way.
