The protagonist awakens imprisoned high above the throne of Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness who rules Alfheimr with an iron fist. After weeks of traveling back to Mistfell with her chosen mate, she discovered she is not the lost princess of Faerie. That burden falls to Fallon instead. Now Mab holds her as a curiosity, an unforeseen presence that the cruel queen plans to forge into a weapon against both humans and Fae. Mab sustains her magic by using the children of Faerie, powered by a cursed gem in her crown that transformed her from girl into a vessel obsessed with power. She wields love as an instrument of pain. Though Mab does not yet own the protagonist, she controls the life of the man she loves. The protagonist prepares to play the deadly games of the Fae court. She will do anything to free him, even if it means becoming the villain herself.
