Abandoned. Unwanted. Orphan. In a time of war between mankind and fae, no one ventures outside of the safety of the human kingdom. Abandoned in the furthest corner of Amnestia, in a convent long forgotten by most, Cress grows up thinking she’s nothing more than a human of horrendous skill and grace. One moment, the quiet countryside of Amnestia where she’s been raised her whole life is devoid of any danger and the next, it’s there. Powered by a strange magical spell, a castle appears seemingly from nowhere. Ruled by a court of fae few humans had ever laid eyes on and lived to tell the tale, Cress stumbles right into the center of three royal princes. There, she discovers that perhaps she’s not a human at all, but a changeling—a fae child left behind in the ancient tradition of an extinct court. In the face of possible execution, she better hope she’s a fae, because the worst thing a girl can be in the court of crimson is human.

Found. Desired. Changeling. The Court of Frost is not meant for the feint of heart - or for a bumbling changeling and her human friend. Cress has found herself plopped smack dab in the middle of Alfheim, otherwise known as the Realm of the Fae. Which wouldn’t be such a bad thing - considering she has finally proven herself to be one of them - except she’s brought along her best friend who is most certainly 100% human. A spur of the moment announcement from Prince Roan, leaves Cress and the two remaining court heirs in a mess of a situation. As a potential crimson princess, Cress must somehow find a way to get through intercourt politics without getting herself - or her friend - killed. Only one person can play the game of Fae politics better than anyone else. If she wants to survive, Cress is going to have to rely on the one prince she hates the most - the Prince of Frost.

Betrayed. Kidnapped. Imprisoned. I always believed my life to be simple—uncomplicated. But now, it’s become more complicated than I ever would have thought possible. Taken hostage by Orion’s elder brother, I come face to face with the most dangerous fate I’ve ever known. Tyr’s betrayal is dangerous not just to me, but to all of Faekind. A wicked plan. A King blinded by hate. A girl with a secret in her blood. There are liars and deceivers all around, and if I want to survive to see the end of this Gods-forsaken war, I’m going to have to draw power from the three people who’ve trusted and protected me for the last few months. There has been enough of this senseless death and bloodshed. If we have any chance of survival, then we’ll need to look for the path of redemption even if it comes from the most unlikely of sources.

Abandoned. Unwanted. Orphan.I was born with no past and no future. Abandoned on the steps of the Abbey of Amnestia, for nearly twenty-one years I fought the idea that I was unwanted. I was clumsy and outspoken, according to my only friend. Troublesome and worthless, according to the nuns.The only thing I knew for sure is that I wasn’t meant to stay hidden forever.Just when I was about to be cast from the only place I’d ever known, it appeared. Or rather, they appeared. The answer. My way out. A magical castle full of the one thing all humans should have feared. Fae. Not just any Fae either, but Royal Fae—the most powerful of all.Three Fae princes, each colored in the abilities of their home Courts. The crimson prince. The frost prince. And the midnight prince.And though I’d spent my whole life thinking I was human, I’d better hope they find something in my blood that marked me as one of them because if not … I might not leave the castle at all. At least, not alive.
