When the fate of multiple realms lands squarely on one shapeshifter's shoulders, she knows exactly what needs to happen—she just wishes it didn't involve manipulating the infuriatingly magnetic Unseelie King. To save everyone, she'll need to get close enough to steal his most prized possession, which means convincing the one person who should absolutely never trust her to lower his guard and let her in. It's a plan that's cold, calculated, and absolutely necessary... except her heart apparently didn't get the memo about keeping things professional. This is a deliciously complex fantasy romance where saving the world might cost everything that matters, and sometimes the greatest magic is realizing what's actually worth fighting for.

Sultry dark fantasy with tension that builds slow and dangerous. Think moody indie-pop meets gothic orchestral—artists like Hozier, Florence + The Machine, and Arca. Ethereal yet edgy. Forbidden attraction wrapped in magic and shadows. Seductive, defiant, achingly beautiful.
