Sirena's curse makes her dangerous. Her heart makes her reckless. Torn between choosing love or following duty, she must embrace her power and her fate-or lose everything she longs to protect.
Sirena, princess of the Woodland Court, was born with forbidden realm magic and she has spent her life feared, controlled, and caged by a father who believes her power is a threat to the realm. After tragedy shatters her family, she seals her heart as tightly as her magic, devoting herself to healing others and vowing never to become the monster her people expect.
But when Fae Folk begin vanishing and dark magic resurfaces, Sirena's defiance leads to her capture by human soldiers empowered by a force tied to the exiled Dark Sorcerer King. Among them is Aiden-a mysterious Fae with mutilated wings and a quiet, steady strength that pulls at her in ways she cannot explain.
Returning home, Sirena finds herself drawn into the orbit of Ashur, the feared and magnetic Mountain Court King whose presence ignites a dangerous, undeniable longing. With Aiden, she feels safety. With Ashur, she feels fire. And between them lies a truth that could unravel everything she is.
When the secrets of her curse begin to surface, Sirena realizes her heart is as dangerous as her magic-and far harder to control. As war looms and political traps close around her, she must choose between the love she craves and the duty she cannot escape. To save her people, she may have to become the very monster they fear.
And in the shadows, the Dark Sorcerer King waits. He has felt her power awaken, remembering the magic that once rivaled his own. And he intends to claim it.
