A Kingdom Ruthless and Radiant

The Fae King is in an uproar, and I’m back in the dungeon, being punished for the crime of being a human and loving his son.

Just when I think my life is over, the jailer makes a snide remark about my “mysterious appeal to princes,” and one appears.

Only it’s not Stellon who’s come to free me but the other prince—his wicked brother Pharis.

When he tosses me onto the back of his enormous black horse and rides me away into the dark night, I think I might be better off in the dungeon than with this grumpy, scary-powerful Fae.

Pharis has no use for the human race and even less for a penniless commoner like me. He’s only doing this out of loyalty to his brother.

So why did he take the long way instead of taking me right to my village?
And act so protective when we ran into trouble on the road?

And why, when we have to seek shelter from a rainstorm in a cave, does that spark I felt at the royal ball feel like it might combust into a wildfire that could burn the Fae Court to the ground?

The more time I spend with him, the more secrets I unearth, the more confused I become about this growly, mysterious prince.

And the more I learn about myself, the more dangerous this Kingdom becomes for me and my family.
