Elara Vey never believed in the stories of the fae—until a whispering wind led her to a courtyard where shadows moved with intent, and a dark, brooding fae named Kaelen waited. Of the secretive Crimson Court, he lives bound by bargains and centuries of duty, yet there is a yearning in him that defies every rule. Drawn into a world of shifting corridors, spectral illusions, and courts that rule from the shadows, Elara must navigate treacherous politics where trust is currency and love is the most dangerous bargain of all. The Farlands, home to the deadly Seelie and Unseelie Courts, linger on the edges of her reality, their power a constant threat. In the Crimson Court, secrets are law, moonlight hides danger, and desire can be both a weapon and a prison. Elara has stepped into the night, and into a love that could save her—or destroy her.
