Part of The Rose Bargain, book 2
First published 2026
Ivy sits on the throne of England beside Bram, the faerie king she married to save her kingdom. The crown came with a terrible price. Bram has released the fae into the human world, and they ravage the country with centuries of pent-up hunger for chaos. Ivy smiles and plays the devoted queen by day. At night, she schemes to banish her husband, rescue her sister Lydia, and return to Emmett, the brother she truly loves. But Emmett and Lydia remain prisoners in the Otherworld, where faerie politics grow more brutal by the day. The fae court demands blood and betrayal from those who would rule. Ivy must master their deadly games or lose everything she fought to protect. Her crown hangs in the balance, and her heart remains divided between duty and desire.
