After the tragic death of the man I adored, I vowed never to love again. To broker peace between two fae kingdoms, I agree to marry the king of Evergorne Court, a union built on duty, not desire.

Onboard the king’s ship, I meet his bodyguard, Lore, a brooding shadow of a man who’s maddeningly arrogant and too handsome for his own good. He ignites something wild and dangerous inside me, something I must resist at all costs.

My new husband, King Merrick, makes me laugh, and to my surprise, he makes me hope. He offers me kindness, a chance to heal my wounded soul, and he awakens feelings I thought had died with my lost love.

Yet, beneath the intoxicating beauty of Evergorne Court, darkness festers. Secrets weave a web of intrigue, leaving me tangled in a treacherous game where trust is scarce and desire is lethal.

Love could be my fiercest weapon, or the very thing that destroys me.
