“If you’re a good girl tonight, maybe I’ll treat you like a bad one later.”

As a human living in the isolated supernatural town of Midnight Harbor, there’s only two choices for me: leave Midnight or pledge my allegiance to one of the supernatural Houses.

It’s expected I’ll follow my family lineage and pledge myself to the Locke Vampire House. But with my pledging day approaching, I’m determined to live my own life and leave Midnight.

I would have made good on that promise if it wasn’t for my vampire neighbor, Bran Duval, black sheep of the powerful Duval House.

Bran reveals that my sister has secretly asked Duval House to bid on me breaking all of Midnight’s tradition. Bran doesn’t know the reason but I think he’s just as curious as I am because we’re soon teaming up to uncover the secrets.

But the longer I’m with Bran, the less control I seem to have over my own desires. Especially when Bran is commanding me in the dark, igniting something in me I didn’t even know I had.

And when Bran finally sinks his fangs into me, everything about my life comes into question.

Because my blood? It isn’t human.

I have few friends and fewer allies. What I do have on the island of Everland is a lot of people who want me gone. So when the Crocodile and Captain Hook reappear in my life, I am in no mood. And worse, they're unknowingly endangering themselves by asking for me by a name I long considered dead.

Now, not only do I have to save myself, I have to save the two men who I swore I would murder with my bare hands if I ever set eyes on them again considering they abandoned me.

Unfortunately for me, Roc and Hook have other plans, and when I find myself caught between them, I have to make a decision: risk my heart or risk my life?

I finally know the truth of my identity: I am not human.

And it's time I stop pretending that I am.

If only I could control these rare, unique powers long enough to defeat my enemies.

Because the fae gate is now open and the entire fae realm thinks I'm the villain.

Or at least thats what I believed, until a fae prince gets down on one knee and offers his hand in marriage under the guise of court unity.

Of course when my vampire boyfriend finds out, he has a proposal of his own. I love Bran and I do want to spend the rest of my life with him, but on my terms.

I'm tired of being a pawn.

It's time I take charge of my own life and resume my rightful place on the Winter Court Throne.
