This fae crown demands blood. Anova has been burnt before. As a thief, it's best that no one knows your real name. Better to be alive and a cheater than an honest corpse. But when her debts catch up to her, a dangerous fae bargain is the only way to repay them before she loses her freedom. Despite her hatred of his folk, she agrees to become the assassin of the young and mysterious fae lord, Leander. The catch? She must pose as his human lover. Because every moment between them must be a farce to save their lives, Anova can’t trust her heart. When they discover a bloody fae curse, her hand is forced. Allow Leander to sacrifice himself to end a reign of fae tyranny, or die in his place. Will it be her life? Or her heart?
