Some bonds are stronger than memory. Some loves are worth burning kingdoms for.

Margot Hawthorne’s life is falling apart. She can barely afford rent. Her nightmares are getting worse, and now she’s waking up in a place where she doesn’t remember falling asleep. But when she goes to bed one night and wakes up in a land of twin moons and shadowed forests, she realizes something is very, very wrong.

Faerie is nothing like the stories. There are no pixies or flower rings or playful sprites. Magic thrums in the air, the land beautiful but treacherous, and ruthless fae hunt the weak like sport. When she’s nearly captured by them—a group who seems to know exactly who she is—she’s saved by a silver-eyed demon with a blade at his hip and secrets carved into his skin.

Cillian is dangerous. Merciless. And her only chance of survival.

Bound by necessity, Margot and Cillian embark on a journey across Faerie to unravel the truth of why she was brought there and why the fae are hunting her. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes his darkness isn’t just skin-deep—there’s something deeper, something broken. And something about her is changing, too. Because Faerie is waking something up inside her, something ancient and powerful—something that shouldn’t exist. And as her bond with Cillian deepens, Margot is left with an impossible choice: reclaim the life she lost, or embrace the one fate has written in blood.
