One night at a local bar, Stasia falls in with the king’s guard. That’s when things really unravel. Before she knows it, she’s tangled up in royal business—more or less on the queen’s payroll—and facing down thieves, spells, and the living, breathing wildness of the city itself.
She trained her whole life to restore her family’s legacy. But her magic is weak, her blood is common, and something dark threatens to consume her kingdom.
Layla is queen of a kingdom haunted by unrest and bloodshed. Her people call her the Blood Queen, but all she wants is peace. With a rising death toll and whispers of rebellion, Layla faces impossible pressure to live up to her parents’ legacy.
Men are strong. Women are weak. That’s what my father told me—right before the king drafted me into the army. He didn’t care that I’m a woman. The king demands every citizen serve the Areopagus. According to my father, I wouldn’t even survive the first battle.
The Aine are the elite warriors of the fae, a chosen twelve, handpicked by the Fates to guard this world. Today, I finally join their sacred ranks. It’s everything I’ve trained for, everything I’ve ever wanted. Then he arrives.
I’m Petra Maguire, a full-blood Fae and vampire hunter living among humans. My father wants me in Faerie, serving a ruthless queen, but I walked away from that world long ago. Then I discover a twin sister I never knew existed. A changeling. Kidnapped by our enemy, King Periclase. Like it or not, I’m dragged back into the deadly politics of Faerie to save her.
