About
A fairy hunter desperate to save herself. A blighted knight hunting for his freedom. A fairy lord teetering on the brink of war.
Unexpectedly resurrected, Gwendolyn finds herself kidnapped by her mortal enemy: the fae. A distressing prospect considering her monster-hunting mother trained her to eradicate them. Worse, a bargain has been struck with the fairy lord on her behalf, and Gwendolyn knows too well that such deals always come with a terrible price.
Trapped in the fairy lord’s glittering court each night and banished back to her own world upon waking, Gwendolyn must find the terms of her bargain quickly if she hopes to outsmart him. Yet, despite her inherited hatred of fae, the fairy lord is not without his charms. Gwendolyn struggles to resist his allure when every time they meet, he offers her anything she could ever wish—a bargain that would no doubt cost her entire soul in trade.
She soon discovers the only creature in this twisted realm she can truly trust is a man as trapped as herself; a blighted knight made from the pieces of a hundred failed heroes. Cursed down to his literal bones, he cannot help but hunt her on his master’s orders. Despite this, Gwendolyn’s heart aches for him, his situation so very like her own. She knows, despite his insistence that she cannot trust him, that if she were to break his curse, they might actually stand a chance of fighting their way out together.
But the magic at her disposal may be her undoing as much as her defense. Though inexpertly wielded, Gwendolyn’s new ability allows her to tell lies that change reality itself. Were the fairy lord to discover it, he would carve out every remnant and use it to arm himself, destroying not only Gwendolyn but everything—and everyone—she has come to love. In order to win her freedom and save her blighted knight, Gwendolyn must amass power quickly, seeking leverage in her mother’s monster hunting legacy and her own inherited curse.
