After my father’s death, my stepmother assumed control of my life. She believes I’ll cave to her demands, even when that means arranging a marriage to a man who makes my skin crawl.
With no other choice, I ran toward comfort. The Blacksmith, a kind soul the fae have turned their backs on. He’s allowed nothing: no name, no rights, no wife.
To be with the man I want, I’ll have to make a deal with a God. An immortal being who promises to help at the cost of one night together. An idea that makes me burn with desire.
The only thing standing between me and my happily ever after, is a Prince I must make mine, and betrothal I have to get out of.
Whatever happens, I know I can’t let my stepmother win.

Having everything… means having everything to lose.
As a new wife, a new queen, I should be happy, but with my kingdom under constant threat of unending curses, a conflict unfolding because of my own mistakes, and the man I refused still creating problems for me, my entire way of life is under threat.
Pulled in every direction, it is taking everything I am to hold on to this life I’ve worked so hard for. But, when magic I don’t yet understand separates me into three different versions of myself, I can’t help but see the opportunity to once and for all end the obstacles that threaten my men and I.
My enemies might think they have the upperhand, but with more of me to stand by my king, my Faery god, my true love, and the man determined to make my every wish come true, nothing will tear us apart.
Whatever happens, I will not let them destroy my happily ever after.

Waking up covered in blood isn't normal.
It also wasn't normal for goats and birds to not listen to me. My Faery magic let me command animals. A useful trait as a shepherd, even if it never won me no friends, and more than a few rivals.
I didn't know who would have taken my sheep, but if I was into betting, my money was on Sook.
Running around a cursed kingdom isn't safe.
Sook wasn't just my business partner, but my best friend. A part of me hoped I was wrong, and no part of me should even consider roaming the countryside just to find out. Eden has always been dangerous, but now more than ever. The beasts were more vicious. Neighbors were quick to turn against neighbor. I shouldn't pursue this.
Letting myself be enticed by the encouraging shadows wasn't me.
But, I can't let it go. I've been through a lot. Lost too much. I won't let this slide. Not this time. I don't why. Maybe something in the air changed. Maybe I did. And I'd deal with this all alone if I had to... Only, for the first time in a long time, I didn't feel alone.
But on the Fae I promise, someone is going to answer for what I've lost.
Or was it?
