She's supposed to assassinate the Fae king. Falling for him was definitely not part of the plan.
Revna knows how to cut throats, hunt Unseelie monsters, and ride a dragon with the best of them. Give her a dangerous mission and her beloved dragon sidekick, and she's perfectly at home.
Winning the heart of a mysterious Fae king? That might actually kill her.
Revna has been given an impossible assignment: infiltrate the Fae court, hide among the king's potential brides, and get close enough to kill him.
So she glamours herself, heads to court, and prepares to charm a supposedly heartless king.
Except Lysanael isn't at all what she expected.
He never wanted the crown, has little patience for court politics, and has absolutely no intention of choosing a mate. Behind his carefully guarded exterior is a man carrying a secret that has kept him from allowing anyone too close.
Which becomes rather inconvenient when he and Revna realize a fake marriage might solve both their problems.
Now the would-be assassin and her intended target are pretending to be hopelessly in love.
There are masquerades to attend, secrets to keep, quiet moments among the vineyards, a dragon who has opinions about all of this, and far too many opportunities for Revna to discover that the king she came to kill might actually be a man worth protecting.
And somewhere between the pretending, the banter, the stolen moments, and the growing heat between them, their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real.
Revna came to court prepared to take Lysanael's life.
She never expected him to steal her heart instead.
