Publisher's Synopsis
Heartbroken and betrayed, Eleanor fled the faerie court... only to be dragged back by her captor, a dark Fae Prince.
She should have never made a deal with Ruskin. He's used her before. Now, he needs her again. The Queen has been doomed to eternal sleep. And Eleanor alone can break the spell. Once the Queen wakes, Eleanor's work should be done. She can leave and force herself to forget the handsome prince and his brutal yet beautiful court. Queen Evanthe's return was meant to heal the land, but she's too weak. It doesn't take long to discover that an iron-soaked curse now haunts the land. Only by uncovering the sinister plots woven through the court can Eleanor break the curse.She won't be able to do it alone. Somehow, magic runs through Eleanor's blood, and every day at court she's closer to unlocking her true power. But it's deeply entwined with the Fae Prince. And he's not to be trusted. Nor can she trust herself around him. His kisses draw her to him, even as his manipulations threaten to tear them apart. And the secrets he's keeping could doom them all.
