LOVE NORMALLY PRECEDES BETRAYAL —

but for Malakai and Willow, any hint of normalcy is part of a carefully spun illusion.

Much to the fae prince’s detriment, Willow is not just a modest garden maid at court. She’s also the mortal daughter of his kingdom’s most sought-after traitor—the man he’s been hunting for over two decades. But Malakai has one edge.

Willow knows nothing of her true lineage.

When a devastating discovery threatens to ignite their highly combustible courtship, Malakai is forced to choose: keep her in the dark to defend his crown, or betray it all to love her in the light. His decision thrusts them into the political intrigues of an enemy court where they and their allies are roped into a rebellion against the Twilight Court—Malakai’s birthright and family. As unsuspecting catalysts to the ancient, sinister forces behind it all, Malakai, Willow and their cadre find themselves on the precipice of a tangled, multigenerational prophecy that could save their world, but only if they’re willing to pay the ultimate price.
