Every young woman dreams of marrying a king.
Everyone except for me.
Because the king I am to wed has razor sharp fangs and a thirst for blood.
Evelyn always knew she would come of age during the Hundred Year Reaping, where two girls would be selected to be brides for the dreaded fae king and his devilish younger brother. She thought she'd escaped that fate, but when those chosen are executed for offending the king, Evelyn and her sister Amelie are sent in their place.
While Evelyn's intended, Prince Cobalt, doesn't seem to be the monster she expected, King Aspen is every bit as chilling and dangerous as they feared. And when Amelie flees the castle, Evelyn finds herself betrothed to the king.
Evelyn then faces an impossible choice: to protect the fragile alliance between the humans and the fae by sacrificing herself or succumbing to a dangerous desire that threatens to be her ruin.
