No girl who enters the Fae realm ever returns. Not whole. Not alive. Not at all.
Every year, one mortal bride is chosen to marry the immortal Fae King to keep the ancient peace between their worlds. When fiery, stubborn Zera is chosen, she refuses to go quietly. But defying the bargain means death—not just for her, but for her family.
Forced into a fate she never wanted, Zera is thrown into a world of shadows, beauty, and secrets. Her groom is more beast than man, and the truth behind the ancient ritual is more terrifying than any tale.
To survive, Zera must do the impossible: break the curse, outwit the Fae… and guard her heart from the very monster she was forced to marry.
