A trail that intertwines with my own past – not even my parents were spared from his merciless slaughter. But, to save my brother’s life, I agreed to another bargain with the fae prince. Now, I’m forced to work with him. Forced to travel to the fae lands. There are no lines I won’t cross to protect the people I love. So, I’ll manipulate, blackmail and deceive potential allies.
