Alyssa Greenberg was born a fairy princess-but without magic. In a kingdom where power is everything, her lack of abilities has always been her greatest shame. When whispers of weakness threaten her family's rule, her parents make a choice for her: marriage.
But not to a fairy prince.
To Isaac, the brutal King of the Orcs.
Cold, cruel, and unwilling, Isaac only agrees to the union for power. Alyssa only agrees because she has no choice. But when fairy light meets orc fire, neither expects the storm that follows.
Can a powerless princess survive in the halls of her enemies?
Or will her heart prove stronger than any magic?
