Synopsis
Princess Chiomara of the Spring Court's coronation looms, and though she's been prepared for the future, the young fae woman is stuck in the past. Memories of a winter warrior linger brighter than her fated's rejection of her, more vividly than any assassination attempt. He ruined all other men for her, but he was out of her reach in an enemy court and duty bound to his king. He was an impossibility.
Slaine is the winter king's Fuarláech, his right-hand man, and his elite guardian. Secrets weigh heavily on his shoulders when he's asked to escort his king to Chiomara's coronation--a gesture of peace between the two courts. Slaine's desperate to avoid the princess at any cost but cannot fail in his duties to his royal charge. Only he knows what he is to her. Only he knows the suffering he would cause.
Except for an obstinate púca, all is against their destinies as the court threatens to crumble under a brutal Seelie occupation.
