Fae magic, enemies-to-lovers rivalry, and political intrigue combine in this steamy romantasy from award-winning author N.E. Davenport.
Princess Kadeesha has no choice but to obey her father and marry the Hyperion High King. But she can decide to spend one last night of freedom in the arms of an intoxicating stranger.
Unfortunately, Malachi is no stranger. Kadeesha’s husband-to-be decimated the Apollyon Court, and as its new king, Malachi wants his pound of flesh. When he attacks on her wedding day, Kadeesha’s father is killed, her groom is wounded, and she is taken back to Malachi’s land.
But she won’t stay his hostage for long. The two form a pact: they will use public displays of their ‘love’ to lure the jealous High King so Malachi can kill him once and for all. In return, Malachi will not harm Kadeesha or the Aether people she now rules.
But fae oaths are unbreakable and the powerful attraction between them might prove even more irresistible …
