In a world torn between the human kingdom and the wild magic of the Fae realms, Astrid is an ex-assassin, haunted by the shadows of her past. After leaving the deadly organization her father controls, Astrid seeks freedom from the life of bloodshed she was forced into. But when her father sells her out to the human king for a mission into the forbidden Fae lands, Astrid finds herself drawn back into a world of secrets, betrayal, and magic.
Captured by Lord Valenor, a ruthless high lord of the Fae, Astrid is forced to confront the truth about her heritage and the deadly power growing within her. As her magic awakens, so too does a dark truth her fate may be tied to the fate of the entire world.
Torn between her loyalty to her father and a mysterious, increasingly dangerous attraction to Lord Valenor, Astrid is thrust into a conflict that could determine the balance of power between humans and Fae. With enemies on every side and her very identity in question, Astrid must navigate treacherous political webs, confront painful truths, and unlock the power of her past all while deciding whether she can trust those who seem determined to control her, or if she will forge her own destiny.
In a land where betrayal is the only constant, freedom may come at the highest cost.
