This book can be read as a standalone, although it is recommended to read Of Fae and Wicked Kings first. It is an enemies to lovers dark romantasy with morally gray fae, unhinged villains, slow burn with sizzling tension, and the he falls first and touch her and die tropes.

A fake engagement, a threat in the shadows, and an obsessive suitor. This wasn’t what I signed up for….

A few short weeks ago, Gwyndolin was liberated from Lord Valen’s estate, and the Unseelie high king who freed her now owns her. Unless she can pull off this fake engagement and live with him for a year, he will let his people continue their assaults on hers.

Talk about sacrifice.

But this morally gray, violence-prone king won’t let her fall, not when he’s already fallen for her.

Enemies lurk in the shadows, and unseen villains threaten everything they’ve worked toward. Both love and betrayal come from the most unlikely places in this heart-stopping, enemies-to-lovers fae romantasy. Will love be enough to save them, or will it be their doom?

It is recommended (but not required) to read Of Fae and Wicked Kings before this. There will be spoilers for Of Fae and Wicked Kings if you read this first.
