Kaelen lied to her. Not about loving her — about everything else.
Betrayed and heartbroken, Mira flees into the dying heart of Nocterra alone — straight into the hands of the one fae as dangerous as the lord she left behind: Ryze, heir to the Thorn Court, who has been waiting a long time for the Shadow Court's prize to slip.
But Kaelen didn't let her go. And when he comes for her through the wreckage of the Thorn Court's ambush, Mira finally hears the truth he's carried for a hundred years — a truth far darker, and far sadder, than the villain the Thorn queen painted him to be.
Now Mira must decide whether love built on a lie can be trusted again, even as the only power that can save a dying realm rests in her hands — and even as breaking the curse threatens to unleash something far older and far more dangerous than any Court has faced in a thousand years.
A fae fantasy romance of betrayal, second chances, and the terrible cost of breaking a curse a hundred years in the making.
Book Two of the Nocterra Saga.
