Part of The Iron Fey, book 1.5
First published 2010
Meghan Chase has learned she is a faery princess, but her royal blood comes with deadly obligations. She has promised to accompany Prince Ash to the treacherous Winter Court, though their love crosses forbidden boundaries. Before fulfilling this vow, Meghan insists on one detour. She must visit Puck, her closest friend and servant to her father King Oberon. The Iron Fey left Puck severely wounded while he protected her, and she cannot abandon him now. Ash agrees to the dangerous journey, but their path draws unwanted attention. An ancient hunter has begun tracking them, a predator so formidable that even Ash's considerable powers may prove insufficient. As Meghan navigates between her loyalty to Puck and her promise to Ash, she discovers that being a faery princess means every choice carries mortal consequences. The Winter Court awaits, but first she must survive the hunt.
