About this book

When two human girls are executed for offending the fae king, you and your sister are rushed in to replace them as brides in a centuries-old treaty—except your sister bolts, leaving you to marry the terrifyingly beautiful, blood-thirsty king himself. You've heard all your life that this day would be your doom, but the brooding fae royal is far more complex (and dangerously compelling) than the monster you expected. As ancient magic, political intrigue, and an undeniable attraction threaten to consume you both, you're forced to choose between sacrificing yourself to prevent a devastating war or risking everything for a desire that could be your undoing. This is a swoon-worthy enemies-to-lovers fantasy that'll have you completely bewitched by a fae king with a heart waiting to be understood—and a heroine fierce enough to try.
