Once, I'd spent my life in the tunnels beneath the mountains. Now, I'm bound to a husband I didn't want.

My mother waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone where the Lunar Witches hid me. She sent her greatest weapon, the God of the Dead, when the Veil finally fell.

But I never expected to love his human mate, Estrella, the way I didβ€”to feel the sisterly bond between us as if it had never been interrupted in our lifetimes spent apart since a rogue witch took her away.

But Mab sees love as a weakness, and she uses my bond with Estrella to manipulate me into a betrothal I never desired.

This marriage is a cage, a means of control that goes against everything within me. But when Estrella is banished into Tartarus, I am left no choice but to journey to the Summer Court and take my place as a bride and a queen.

The Heir and the Spare unfolds a tale of love, power, and the sacrifices we must endure for the ones we cherish, no matter what I leave behind.

About the Author

Harper L. Woods is the New York Times-and USA Today-bestselling fantasy romance alter ego for Adelaide Forrest. Raised in small-town Vermont, her passion for reading was born during long winters spent with her face buried between the pages of a book. She began to pass the time by writing short stories that quickly turned into full-length fiction. Since that time, she has published over twenty-five books and has plans for many more. When she isn't writing, Harper can be found spending time with her two young kids, curling up with her dog, dreaming about travel to distant lands, or designing book covers she'll never have enough time to use.
