When 20-year-old Evelyn Ashbrook discovers she's half-Fae -- the living proof of a union outlawed by ancient law -- the Fae Council condemns her to death. Her only chance at survival comes through a devastating bargain: serve the Fae Council as an assassin, draining the magic - the very souls - of their chosen victims. Her salvation comes through Kearne Blackstone, a stoic immortal who protects her, trains her, and convinces the Council to grant her freedom between worlds.
But freedom comes with chains. Each mission corrupts her further, and the man who saved her is bound by secrets that could very well destroy her. Kearne knows Evelyn's bloodline is a harbinger of war between the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Milesians, and that the Wildfae known as the Oakman has already marked her as his next prize.
When a rival Fae tempts Kearne with a way to save Evelyn - one that could cost her soul -
they must decide whether love is worth breaking the oldest truce in history.
Blending the dark sensuality of A Court of Thorns and Roses with the mythic intrigue of The Cruel Prince, The Blood Between Us explores the price of loyalty, the dark side of survival, and the dangerous magic that binds love to destiny.

Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive.
