STATUS: Revising

DESCRIPTION:

Sixteen-year-old Riley Sullivan isn’t crazy—faeries exist. She knows they can’t lie, they can’t withstand iron, and in a pinch, a little salt will deter them. Forced into years of therapy for her “visions,” Riley wants nothing but a normal life. But when Kieran O’Connor, a court faery impervious to iron, accuses her of being a faery in disguise, her life takes an unexpected turn. Everything she thought she knew is wrong. Not only does Riley find herself in the middle of an ancient war between Light and Dark—she is the key to ending it.

When whisked away to the Otherworld, Riley’s future unravels before her eyes. Heir to the Lumen Court throne, she is betrothed to Kieran, heir to the Nox Court. Their union could end the war and merge their kingdoms, making them strong enough to contend with their oppressors: the Seasons. With the Winter and Summer monarchs working to dissolve the ceasefire treaty, the two fae must foster the tenuous peace while attempting to negate the mysterious magic binding Riley’s powers. 

Magic that hides the truth from everyone.

A quest for answers about Riley’s past brings her to the dissolved High Court where she learns a secret about her family, and the real reason the Seasons do not want her on a throne. As alliances shift and the stability of the faery realm becomes threatened, Riley and Kieran must stop the Seasons or risk the destruction of both their worlds.
