Never reveal your name.

Protect your mistress with your life.

Obey me in all things.

Seven-year-old Lenora doesn’t understand the Fairy Queen’s demands, but she knows that disobedience means she will suffer the same fate as her mother: being turned into stone.

Years later, her spirited mistress, Charlotte, becomes engaged to the monstrous Lord Vale. Soon, Lenora finds herself stranded in the drafty halls of Vale Castle.

But Vale Castle hides a dark secret.

As Charlotte slips deeper into Vale’s dark influence, Lenora has no one to trust but the castle’s grim yet compelling steward, Dorian Graves.

To save her mistress, Lenora may have to break the Queen’s command, risking not only her own safety, but also the man whom she is beginning to love.
