A queen imprisoned. A reluctant prince. A realm in peril… The second dumbest thing I ever did was to make a Fae bargain with my mother. The dumbest thing was to make another one… Trading my freedom for Lawrence’s life seemed like a noble act, and if I wasn’t already a celebrity in Faerie, I definitely am now. The problem is that being in the asylum means I have to play by its rules, and it soon shows itself to have a twisted mind and secrets to hide. While I’m connecting the asylum’s secrets to my past and the hidden history of Faerie, my gargoyle lover and mate Lawrence is dealing with political and family complications. I thought my mother was my greatest foe, but it turns out there’s a bigger, deadlier game afoot, and Lawrence and I are the pawns. Can I figure out how to leverage the power of the asylum to wriggle out of the bargain I made and claim my mate and destiny? Or will I be too late to defeat the voracious soul-sucking spirits amassing in Faerie and lose my sanity, my realm, my life… and my lover? Sometimes even a Fae princess has to agree to an impossible bargain, and sometimes she has to break the rules. Guess which one I’m going to do?
