— Adalyn Grace #1 New York Times bestselling author of Belladonna London 1848—For four
hundred years England has been under the control of an immortal fae queen who tricked her way
onto the throne. To maintain an illusion of benevolence Queen Mor grants each of her subjects
one opportunity to bargain for their deepest desire. As Ivy Benton prepares to make her debut
she knows that not even a deal with the queen could fix what has gone wrong: Her family’s
social standing is in shambles her sister is a shadow of her former self and Ivy’s marriage
prospects are nonexistent. So when the queen announces a competition for Prince Bram’s hand
Ivy is the first to sign her name in blood. What a bargain can’t fix a crown certainly could.
Ivy soon finds herself a surprising front-runner—with the help of an unexpected ally: Prince
Bram’s brother the rakish Prince Emmett who promises to help Ivy win his brother’s heart…for
a price. But as the season sweeps Ivy away with glittering balls veiling the queen’s
increasingly vicious trials Ivy realizes there’s more at stake than just a wedding. Because
all faerie bargains come with a cost and Ivy may have discovered hers too late. From the New
York Times bestselling author of The Witch Haven comes a tale that will leave readers eager to
bargain for a sequel.
