If you start reading this book expecting a typical fae story, you are going to be shocked. Very, VERY shocked. Princess Cirelle makes a deal with a mysterious fae named Ellian to save her brother and former lover from a plague that is devastating her kingdom. The price Cirelle has to pay? One year of servitude in Ellian’s home. Cirelle knows much of the lore concerning fae and thinks she is prepared for her adventure. But there’s a dark side to her that is brought to the surface in the fae realm. As Ellian says, “There’s something dark inside you, Princess, and I’m afraid I’m setting it free.”

Intense emotions, subterfuge and plotting, and a small rebellion trying to prevent the queen of the Unseelie Court from locking the door between the fae realm and the human world. This one will keep you guessing right up until the last page and then leave you waiting for the sequel!
