When a half-Fae woman with the dangerous power to compel anyone through a glance is finally given a chance at freedom, there's just one catch—she has to complete one last impossible task for the Fae king. Elessia infiltrates human politics to uncover a conspiracy, but as she gets dangerously close to a brooding regent who makes her question everything, she realizes the real battle might not be about her freedom at all. Packed with political intrigue, forbidden romance, and magic that crackles off the page, this is a story about the price of power and discovering that sometimes the most dangerous choice is choosing who to trust. Perfect for readers who love morally gray characters, high-stakes fantasy romance, and plots that twist just when you think you've got them figured out!

“This needs to be on everybody's TBR. It's perfect for spooky season. It's very short. It's gonna be a quick read. I love the dark and spooky, like watery type vibe that we have in here. This is like one of the best things that I think I've read.”
