"An instant romantasy classic!" -- Katee Robert New York Times bestselling author Enter a new
world of romantic fantasy from award-winning author N.E. Davenport—a journey of powerful magic
enemies-to-lovers and political intrigue—as a warrior-princess and a vengeful king from rival
fae courts form a fierce alliance to take down a merciless despot. Princess of the Aether
Dominion Kadeesha wants nothing to do with fae politics. She is a warrior first and foremost
and believes her greatest strength is leading her squadron of elite winged serpent flyers to
protect her homeland. But bound since infancy to be betrothed to the Hyperion High King ruler
of all Dominions she has no choice but to do what men have chosen for her. Repulsed by the
idea she decides to spend one last night of freedom—in the arms of a dangerous stranger who
takes her to sexual heights she’s never experienced before…but who is only using Kadeesha to
set a trap for the High King. For the High King and the kings of his six Dominions were
responsible for the decimation of the Apollyon Court and its new king Malachi wants his
pounds of flesh. On Kadeesha’s wedding day Malachi and his special forces attack. Her father
is killed and Malachi wounds the High King ultimately taking Kadeesha as hostage back to his
land. But she is no true hostage. The two form a pact: she will help lure the High King so
Malachi can kill him once and for all and he in turn will not harm Kadeesha or the Aether
people. And as much as Kadeesha hates politics she is now the Queen of her folk. Fae bonds are
unbreakable…and so perhaps is the attraction Kadeesha and Malachi feel for each other. For
even as they must publicly display their connection to provoke the High King’s jealousy they
struggle to resist the powerful allure between them in order to achieve their ultimate goals.
