In the cruel, treacherous world of the Court of Nightmares, Elowen and her younger sister, Elsbeth were orphaned at a young age and left to defend themselves amongst the wolves. For years they'd managed to survive together until two things happened that changed their lives forever: Elsbeth's betrothal to Henrix, the most horrid, evil male in the Hewn City other than Keir, and Elsbeth's secret pregnancy, formed out of wedlock and with a male that is very much not with her betrothed. After a failed escape attempt to save the baby, Elsbeth and Elowen find themselves at the mercy of the darkest, most powerful High Lord in the history of Prythian, under whom the Hewn City has thrived for centuries. Elowen must make a difficult choice that will bind her life to the High Lord she's grown up resenting. Will her arrangement with Rhysand be her salvation or her undoing? *All original characters belong to SJM *SLOWBURN Adult Content/Smut
