After Anova killed for the fae she thought she loved, she wakes to her worst nightmare. Her life is tied to the all-powerful blood crown. If she doesn't destroy the cursed fae object before it's too late, she'll die. Left with no allies, Anova is forced to turn to the enemy she never thought she would: the cruel and ambitious fae Hellmyr, son of the dead High King. She bargains away her hand in marriage for protection against her assassins. Luckily for her, Anova's good at faking the part. Even if her heart betrays her. But her time's running thin, and the price for breaking the curse might just be worse.
