AVA On my birthday, I caught the guy in bed with another. I swear: no more love! The human young man practically crushed my heart. Meeting the devilishly charming Thorin, king of the good fairy realm, was completely out of place. He is magnificent, but I hate fairies and I’ll never fall to my knees in front of him. A tournament where hundreds of fairy girls every year fight for the right to be Thorin’s wife doesn’t interest me. But the king offered a deal, and I’m ready to take the risk. I have nothing to lose except my own head—because fairies will kill my competitor for the crown. True, the closer I get to Thorin, the more I forget that this is all a game. Now my life is on the line. And my heart too.

THORIN Demons killed my mother, the last queen of Fairyland. Since then, I draw magic from our kingdom. But on Earth, cold has reigned. Only the queen on the throne can return spring to us. For that, I need the one I won’t be able to fall in love with. Once, I was a hostage of feelings, but the demons cursed me. Under threat of death, anyone who melts my heart is doomed. Ava’s audacity showed me she is the one I need. A fairy changeling— a miserable ragged girl. I offered her a profitable deal with guaranteed victory in the tournament and a large sum of money. She’ll get all of it if she survives. But the better I got to know the girl, the more I realized: Ava is wonderful. It seems Ava is threatened not only by the duel. But also by… me myself.
