When desire collides with deception, their love may be the key to freedom—or destruction.

While the fae trapped in my realm rebel, all I want is to escape the arranged marriage decreed by my father, the king.

Determined to live on my own terms, I flee, only to be pursued by my mysterious new royal guard, Bastien.

What begins as a dangerous game of cat and mouse soon ignites into a forbidden connection, filled with desire and emotions I’ve never known.

But when I discover Bastien’s true identity and my family’s connection to the fae’s imprisonment in my realm, I become a pawn in a different kind of game.

Forced into Bastien’s hands, a lying male who turns out to be ruthless and will stop at nothing to reopen the veil, I must fight to save my realm and my heart.

Even if it means sacrificing the love I thought I’d found.
