When winter blankets the Court of Dreams, the war against the Subterranean of Nightmares halts, and the faerie queen hosts a deadly tournament. For outsider Willow Nightstalk, it’s her only chance to win a dream come true—and break the curse that makes her as ugly as she feels.
But this tournament is no fairy tale. Designed to expose and eliminate “flawed” mortals, the contest is as treacherous as the fae themselves. Allies are dangerous, enemies are inevitable, and survival means securing the patronage of powerful fae nobles.
When the sinister House of Shadow—the very fae who ruined Willow’s life—chooses her as their protégé, everything changes. As secrets unravel, Willow learns nothing in the Court of Dreams is as it seems, especially the Nightmares.
