He blinked a few times as he swung his gaze back to me. “I knew this would happen,” he murmured, beginning to slur as his eyes fought to slam shut once more. “I’m so in love with you, it’s made me sick.” When Auralie Roberts first meets the man of her dreams, he’s being tortured in them—literally. Obsessed with saving him from the monsters armed with iron weapons, she craves sleep for three long months, if only for the chance to see him again. The day one of those monsters hunts her into the real world, Aura meets Wren, a cocky High Fae man who saves her life and explains that human women like her are being hunted and killed. To protect those she loves most—including herself—Aura makes a bargain with Wren and finds herself fleeing into Faerie to seek protection under the High King. Instead of salvation, Aura only finds secrets. Dark, twisted truths about herself, her family, the High King of Faerie, and even the man from her dreams. He’s real, but can she save him before it’s too late? And when she finds out who he is, will she still want to?

“You are, without a doubt, the worst thing that has ever happened to me,” he said. Then he paused, his eyes ablaze. “But if anyone tried to change it, and they tried to take you back from the absolute trainwreck that catapulted you into my life, I would hunt them to the end of the world. I would hold their hearts in my bare hands and squeeze until they threw you back to me, little beast.” Furious at having been betrayed, Aura has fled from the House and tumbled deeper into Faerie with one thought in her mind: Run for your life. With the Malum hellbent on forcing an arranged marriage between the High King of Faerie and an enemy bride, Aura’s life is in constant danger as the caenim track her across the land by scent—the scent of being human, and the scent of being the future High Queen, if she accepts the bond to Lucais. But with Lucais still keeping so much from her, Aura has to make the decision for herself. Should she keep running for her life, or can she fight to save it instead? Aura knows that she’s haunted by the ghosts of old wrongs, and one day they’ll come to claim the debt that is owed. In order to pay the price, she needs to escape the Oracle’s prophecy—but how many secrets will need to be unravelled first? How many old wounds need to be reopened in order to heal the broken pieces of fate’s misdeeds? There are questions that demand to be answered and enemies hiding secrets in strange places in Faerie. Aura’s magic makes her a force to reckoned with, but first she needs to reckon with herself.
