The Fae Courts are choosing a new High King, and everyone is playing for power.
Heiress to the Dark Court, Julianna knows the game. She's watched her parents shield her from it her whole life. But when she slips through the revelry unseen and collides with a stranger in the dark, everything changes. Kieran is heir to the Shadow Court, guarded and sharp and nothing like the polished suitors waiting to claim her hand. Their connection is immediate. Irrevocable. And potentially fatal. Behind the glittering ceremonies and formal presentations, someone is dismantling the old order. Magic is being weaponized. Heirs are being silenced. And the Selection that should have crowned a new era has become a trap that could destroy every Court. Julianna and Kieran have seven days to uncover the truth before the final vote. Seven days to decide if their bond is strong enough to survive a war, or if love itself will be the first casualty. Some bonds are written in the stars. Others are forged in shadow. Theirs might just save the world. This is the second book in the Star Crossed Fae series, but each book stands alone and can be read in any order.
