Lorila--where the Ravyir rules with an iron fist, nobles dance and scheme, and serfs bolt their doors against flesh-eating faeries and mad witches.
Sarid, disgraced countess, is content with her raggedy clothes and spellbooks. Until she meets Rischa, a comely charmer who knows nothing of her faerie blood and family history. He's the Ravyir's nephew, and she fears he'll discover her darkest secret--that she drove his brother mad.
Rischa is a womanizer, an Eliav, and his grandfather ruined Sarid's family. Despite this, she finds herself growing attached to him. Dangerously attached.
Caught between her ruthless faery kin and the arrogant Lorilan nobility, Sarid must navigate intrigue, enchantment, and love, and learn to wield her magic--and her emotion--before it consumes her.
