The Thornbound Masquerade: The Thornbound Pact - Book 3

By Avery Nightwell

One dance. One theft. One wrong glance into starlight... and the courts will own them for good.

Mara Vey survived the Briar Labyrinth-barely. Now the Briarheart pulses beneath her skin like a second heartbeat, and every fae court can feel it.

Task Two is a velvet noose: infiltrate the Star Court's midnight masquerade and steal the Starglass Mirror, a relic that reveals every hidden bond. In a ballroom full of predators who can smell a lie, Mara and Caelan Thorn must play devoted consorts while hiding the very thing that keeps them alive-because if the Mirror looks too closely, it won't just expose their pact.

It will turn them into a prize.

Prince Solen is charming, dangerous, and far too interested in Mara's mark. Lady Nyx Vell watches from the shadows like she already knows what Mara is becoming. And somewhere beyond the glittering music, Seraphine Vale tightens her grip on the one leverage Mara can't lose.

To steal the Mirror, Mara and Caelan will have to choose each other on purpose-turning a sentence into a weapon-before midnight becomes a hunt.
