In a world darkened by deceit, the truth is a light that wonāt be dimmedāeven when it illuminates Lorianās betrayals more starkly than I could ever want to see. They call him the Bloodthirsty Prince. His reign of terror has left a trail of blood across this continent, a trail that intertwines with my own pastānot even my parents were spared from his merciless slaughter. To save my brotherās life, I agreed to another bargain with the fae prince. Now, Iām forced to work with him, to travel to the fae lands, to spend my every waking moment with the man who betrayed me. All because King Sabium has woven a deadly tapestry of manipulation, using those we least suspect for his wicked schemes. There are no lines I wonāt cross to protect the people I love. So Iāll work with former enemies. Iāll manipulate, blackmail, and deceive potential allies. Iāll swallow my pride, bury my shattered heart, and cooperate with the fae to prepare for the coming war. Because there are creatures far more monstrous than the faeāand some of them masquerade as men. Book two of this slow-burn enemies-to-lovers series will enchant fans of fantasy romance who love Raven Kennedy, Amanda Bouchet, and Carissa Broadbent.
