Description

An inter-connected romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Stephanie Garber

The Summer Court princess has never failed to end the curse that ravages Faerie every hundred years, until now. The responsibility has fallen on me, Aribella, the Fall princess, to stop the poison destroying my realm. I must go to Ethereum to fetch the heart of one of its dark lords, or my people will perish.

Everything unravels the moment I step foot in Ethereum. Thrown into my target’s dungeon and in fear for my life, I can see no way to save myself, let alone my kingdom. The scarred Ethereum lord who holds me is brutal, unforgiving, and only keeping me alive as long as I’m useful to him. Yet I have a secret, harboured my entire life, and if I can use it to my advantage, there is a chance I and my people might come through unscathed…

The unputdownable follow up to Cold-Hearted in the Cursed Fae series.
