Exiled from the Fey realm, Ryn has spent her the last fifteen years taking care of her sick sister, Mero. But now, with the tyrant king dead, she can finally bring her sister home—and seek the Grail, the only magic that might save Mero.

At least, until her plans go spectacularly up in flames. First, she catches her Fey lover shagging a mortal. Just as she’s fleeing that disaster, she accidentally kills a baroness bound for the Veiled Court. In this secret Fey court, monarchists will choose their next ruler through lethal trials.

But this disaster of a night could be a blessing in disguise. Everyone knows the Grail lies in the Veiled Court. Finally, Mero could be cured.

Desperate, Ryn and her dangerously charming friend Tristan infiltrate the trials, and Ryn assumes a fake identity.

They want the Grail—but also to stop the next tyrant from taking the throne.

But surviving combat isn’t her greatest problem. It’s Rion du Lac—the Court’s lethally seductive warlord. To win the crowd over, he demands they pose as lovers. Strangely, Ryn has dreamt of him for years before she even met him. But the most terrifying thing about him is that he quickly discovers she’s a fraud—and he dangles this information over her head.

If he reveals her secret, she’ll burn, her sister will die—and the kingdom could fall into tyranny.
