Bound by both her duty to her clann and all the Isles of Rinn Dúin, Aisling is handfast to one of the twelve fae sovereigns: she, a fragile symbol of peace between mortals and fair folk. Aisling is spun into the Fae King’s world of bygone beasts and primal magic where mankind’s perspective on centuries old racial feuds is challenged each day Aisling tastes the alluring, savage world views of her betrothed—the nightmare muse of grisly fireside tales and blood-soaked legends. Wicked philosophies that awaken a creature in Aisling she realizes is not so different from the enemy king she’s now eternally tethered to. It’s in this quest for truth and self-discovery that one is propelled into a whimsical yet darkly cast fantasy where only the powerful and hungry survive.

No longer mortal and not quite Sidhe, Aisling finds herself caught between two worlds and racing toward Lofgren’s rise: a peak in the Fjallnorrian North said to not only hoard the mortals’ curse breaker but also the answers Aisling seeks. Across frostbitten feywilds and through enchanted fae kingdoms, Aisling’s desire to discover her true self is complicated by the ambitions of those around her. Among them, Dagfin, the Roktan Prince, and his heartfelt duty to protect Aisling. And Lir, the Sidhe King of the Greenwood, equally as obsessed with finding the curse breaker as he is hunting Aisling down. Old and new enemies alike surround the Not-So-Mortal Queen as she draws closer to the truth of who she is. Each motivated by power, by vengeance, and by a single unifying thought: Aisling must stay away from the Sidhe King of the Greenwood lest their true binding breed desolation in this realm and the next.
