When Emmy's best friend, the King of the Dark Fae, pulls her into Court for her own safety, her life shatters into a world of danger, desire, and deception.
And the fae who tempts her most is the one she can never trust.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Emmy has always known her best friend isn't human-he's the King of the Fae, ruling a realm where beauty is a weapon and loyalty comes at a cost. As rebellion rises and Damien's power begins to fracture, Emmy agrees to help him find a queen-someone who can legitimize his reign and calm the chaos threatening to consume his court.
But in the glittering danger of the fae world, Emmy meets a mysterious man-a ruthless, magnetic fae whose allegiance belongs to no one. His interest in her is as sharp as it is dangerous, and every moment she spends near him draws her deeper into a web of conspiracy and deceit she can't escape.
Caught between loyalty and temptation, light and ruin, Emmy must decide what she's willing to sacrifice.
Because in a realm where crowns are won with blood and hearts are broken for sport, even love can be treason.
~*Author's Note*~
This is a slow-burn dark fantasy with sharp edges. Expect morally grey characters, power imbalances, quiet choices that hurt more than loud ones, and a romance that is intense, complicated, and not always safe. No one here is purely good, no one is entirely honest, and love does not guarantee mercy. If you're looking for a story about agency, survival, and what it costs to matter in a world that would rather use you-welcome. Read carefully.
