Marin Huber is accustomed to the quiet routine of her life, living on her aunt's small farm in Vermont, taking care of her hens, and keeping to herself.

However, not everything goes as planned. After one disturbing night featuring an intoxicating stranger, Marin's entire life gets turned on its head. Soon everything familiar is stripped away, and Marin finds herself trapped in the Court of Vines, entangled in strange politics and the even stranger Weinenvolk--including the darkly handsome fae lord who seems to want to keep her there forever.
