Risk everything for your kingdom...Or be destroyed by it. In a world darkened by deception, truth is the light that will not dim. Even as it shines a brighter light on Lorian's betrayals than I would ever want to see. They call him the Bloodthirsty Prince. His reign has left a bloody trail across this continent. A trail that intertwines with my own past - even my parents did not escape his merciless slaughter. To save my brother's life, I agreed to another deal with the faerie prince. Now I'm forced to work with him. Forced to go to the lands of the fairies. Forced to spend every waking moment with the man who betrayed me. And all because King Sabium has woven a deadly tapestry of manipulation, using those we least suspect of his vicious plans. There are no boundaries I will not cross to protect the people I love. Therefore, I will work with former enemies. I will manipulate, blackmail and deceive potential allies. I will swallow my pride, bury my broken heart and work with the fairies to prepare for the coming war. Because there are creatures far more monstrous than the fairies. And some of them disguise themselves as men.
