Once upon a time, there was a boy with pink-dusted cheeks that waited for Skylar outside class every morning to walk her to her next one. Breathless laughter echoed in her room after he would climb in through her window every evening, eyes crinkled into crescent moons and cheeks bunched up with the force of his smile. Together, they would listen to music under the river of stars in the sky every night. Now Skylar is miserably grown up, the windows in her room stay firmly shut at all times, and the boy she wanted to share her music and her life with is now a planet outside her orbit.

The Crown Prince of the Fire Fae is looking for a bride, and to find one, he'll invite the most eligible ladies to compete for his hand. Maren, a humble lady's maid, did not consider herself one of these women--not until she was forced to accept the invitation delivered to her by a cruel twist of fate. But perhaps it isn't all bad; Her prize should she win is a palace, a seat among the most powerful beings on Earth, and riches beyond her wildest dreams. It's the perfect escape for anyone--besides her, who has no interest in becoming domesticated by yet another being--human or immortal. Swept away to the Court of Embers, Maren finds herself enchanted by the creatures she was taught to fear. However, the dangerous legends about the winged people of the Neverin Forest are written for a reason, and soon enough, Maren discovers the golden palace of Adara is not what it seems. Neither is its beloved Prince. Entangled in a web of secrets, Maren must decide what she wishes to fight for; her freedom, her life, or what her heart burns for most. *BTS FAERIE AU **English **All of BTS included © sparklingjin 2019
