A Court This Cruel and Lovely

The first book in an addictive fantasy Kingdom of Lies series about secret power, slow burn romance, and dangerously high stakes . . .

Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae.

The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned to death.

When my forbidden power is discovered, I'm forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore.

To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary, a dark yet handsome one.

But the ruthless mercenary is hiding secrets of his own. Secrets that threaten the safety of everyone I love. Secrets that could tear this kingdomβ€”and perhaps even this worldβ€”apart.
