In a fae-ruled England, every subject gets one bargain—sealed in blood.
When Ivy Benton enters a deadly competition for the hand of Prince Bram, she isn’t chasing love. She’s after survival: a crown to fix her family’s ruin and restore her sister’s shattered spirit. But glittering gowns and charming suitors can’t disguise the trials Queen Mor has woven into the game.
To win, Ivy enlists the help of the queen’s second son, the dangerously charming Prince Emmett. He offers a deal of his own—one that tangles Ivy in a web of secrets, sabotage, and forbidden feelings.
With the crown in reach and her heart in peril, Ivy must face the truth: in this court, every bargain has teeth.
And love may be the most treacherous one of all.
