Ani's dual nature as half-human, half-faery makes her hungry for experiences that draw dangerous attention. Her appetites pull in both enemies and allies, including Devlin, who was made to kill. Devlin serves as brother to two powerful faery queens: the coldly rational High Queen and her twin sister who embodies chaos and war. He knows his sisters pose a deadly threat to Ani, and if he cannot shield her from them, he will become the weapon that destroys her. But Ani refuses to hide while others wage her battles. She possesses both the bravery to defend herself and the power to reshape Devlin's carefully laid plans. Each gives the other reason to be afraid, yet they cannot resist growing closer. Their connection deepens even as a greater danger rises to threaten all of Faerie. When the entire faery realm hangs in the balance, Ani and Devlin must choose between saving their world and saving each other.
