Judgment Day

From loveless, hopeless, award-less author S.J.Locke comes the second instalment of the Apocrypha series.

It's been six months since a new ruler took the throne, but the fae court is far from at peace. Amid secrets simmering in shadowy corners and tensions close to snapping, Samaryn Nevermore is left trying to save the one person she cares about in a world where lies hide beneath double-edged smiles and the only person she can trust is the conflicted Capitan of the Royal Guard...

Left in the dust by his oldest friend's surprise engagement, Valerian Blackwood has hit a new low. With the looming threat of war and his father's demands pressing down on him, his only escape is in the fleeting attentions of women in the city's backwater taverns and the brief respite that they bring. As life at the castle grows darker and the waters of the river run red with the blood of severed heads, Valerian hatches a desperate plan to save his and Sam's lives, and to escape ominous presence at his back.
But this is Faery, where everything has a price- and you might just lose your heart in the bargain. How steep a price will need to be paid in the fight for love, and whose blood will be spilled in a war for vengeance?
