Every hundred years, a curse descends on Faerie, ravaging its lands and killing its people. For the last two millennia, the Summer Court princess has always been the one to stop it. Now it's my turn. I've been preparing to become one thing my entire life: the perfect assassin. My mission is simple. Travel to the mirror realm, find an Ethereum Lord, return to Faerie with his magical heart. But when I step through the portal, something goes horribly wrong and I find myself at the mercy of Zander, a handsome royal guard who has taken me captive. Zander is arrogant, stubborn, and infuriatingly handsome, but I'm forced to play by his rules so that he will present me before his leader, the Ethereum Lord of the North. Then my mission will resume. Cut out the heart and get back to Faerie. The only problem is, Zander has secrets, and when I find out what they are, they change everything, making me question if what I was taught my entire life was a lie. Now I'm left with an impossible choice. Fail my task and everyone and everything I've ever known and loved perishes. Or complete my mission and destroy the one thing I never knew I needed to survive: love.
