Brenna is a human girl not suited for human life - not with the power of the Fae she tries to bury as deep as the trauma that ties her to it. At her first chance she leaves her family behind to seek answers that should’ve been left in the dark. As she navigates a world of prophecies and magic, she finds herself falling for the wrong guy in all the right ways and in the process uncovers the worst truth of them all. Trauma and power are one in the same – they never stay buried for long.

The descent into hell never goes as planned. But she is there now, and Brenna must pick up the sword her hero has left behind. Once again forced to hide the power bestowed upon her by the Fae, Brenna discovers she can rule with something else altogether; the power of kindness. And for better or for worse, when you possess the power of kindness even in the depths of hell, help is never that far away.

A past trauma that doomed Brenna’s family. A prophecy that united her to the worst of creatures in all the best ways. Worlds, hearts, friendships – everything is at stake, and everything can be broken. As the war rages on there is only one way it can be won. Brenna had the answer from the beginning; it is etched into a wooden bucket from a holy well. Sacrifice required.
