Tamlin was never the villain-just the broken High Lord left behind in the ruins of a love that nearly destroyed him. Haunted by his mistakes, drowning in guilt, and shunned by the courts, he's all but forgotten.
Until a human girl named Mia stumbles across the border into Prythian, bloodied and defiant, with no idea the fae exist.
She wants nothing from him. She fears nothing about him. And she sees a version of him even he no longer believes in.
Mia is everything Tamlin never expected: sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, and utterly unwilling to let him hide behind his monstrous past. She pushes him. Confronts him. Heals him. And in doing so, threatens to unravel every wall he's built to survive.
But Prythian is stirring again, and so is an ancient prophecy-one that ties Mia's fate to his in ways that could either save the realm... or burn it to ash.
This is not the story of a girl who falls for a High Lord.
This is the story of a High Lord who learns how to rise.
