Rule #1: Never bargain with the fae. Rule #2: Never fall for the enemy. "A captivating series!" -Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of The False Prince If Otec is to save his family from raiders, he'll have to team up with Matka, the very woman who betrayed him. But when Matka is kidnapped, Otec realizes that far more than his family is in danger. If he has any chance of saving the woman he refuses to love, his family, and his kingdom, he'll have to make an impossible bargain with the fae. But all dark magic has a price.

So when a whaling ship crashes just offshore, she doesn't hesitate to rescue the lone survivor, Adar, who quickly becomes her friend. She must keep him hidden from her mother at all costs, for if the Winter Queen discovers him trespassing, she'll kill him. When her mother reveals just how dark her soul has become, Elice realizes she is as much a prisoner as Adar. To ever know true freedom—to ever become the woman she was meant to be—she must flee with him. But in their flight, she begins to see hints of something more nefarious. The darkness that has taken hold of her mother is spreading, staining the world with its influence. Unbeknownst to Elice, a bargain was made long ago. A bargain she was born to fulfill.
