I spent my entire life thinking I was mediocre at magic, a sub-par witch whom no one expected much from, other than a good time. Until my twenty-first birthday, when I sprouted wings and pointed ears and realized I wasn’t even human. Within the course of four days, I found out that not only was I Fae, but the missing changeling princess to the Winter Court, and I’d have to leave the mortal realm and live out the rest of my immortal life in the Faerie realm. Oh, and I met my mate…and he rejected me.
Since that day, I’ve been…well, I won’t say enjoying myself, but I’ve been having fun. Mostly…. if I don’t think too hard about the pain I’m in from the shattered mating bond. Okay fine, I’ve been self-medicating and I don’t remember the last two years. But when an unexpected, political marriage proposal presents itself, I would be crazy not to use that to my advantage, right? Because I want to hurt my mate the way he hurt me…publicly and painfully.
Eldoris
The Summer Court is on the verge of war, facing a foe with a tainted form of magic that’s unpredictable and extremely hard to defeat. The only viable solution is to form an alliance with the Winter Court through marriage. As the Prince not in line for the throne, I’m the logical choice for this union, but when I approach the Winter Court Queen for her hand, she offers her daughter instead. Edina is beautiful and would be a perfect match, except I’m pretty sure she hates me.
So when she accepts my proposal, I’m a bit stunned, until she reveals her plan. No matter how well we sell a ruse, the realm won’t believe our betrothal is a love match, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pretend to fall in love. Am I willing to do that? Lie to everyone around me and convince them I’m falling for the princess? If it means saving my court…I’ll do anything
