It was on my birthday that I caught my boyfriend in bed with someone else. I swear—no more love! A human young man literally crushed my heart. And meeting that devilishly charming Thorin, the king of the Good Fey, was completely untimely. He’s magnificent, but I hate the fey, and there’s no way I’ll ever kneel before him. A tournament in which hundreds of fairy girls fight every year for the right to become Thorin’s spouse doesn’t interest me. But the king offered me a deal, and I’m ready to take the risk. I have nothing to lose except my own head, because the fey will kill the competitor for the crown.
But 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.
THORIN
Demons killed my mother, the last queen of Fairyland. Since then I’ve drawn magic from our kingdom. But on Earth, cold has taken over. Only a queen on the throne can bring spring back to us. To do that, I need the one woman I won’t be able to fall in love with.
Once I was a hostage to my feelings—but demons cursed me. Now, under threat of death, any woman who melts my heart will be in danger. Ava showed me with her audacity that she is the one I need. A fairy changeling—such a pathetic ragged thing. I offered her a profitable deal with a guaranteed win in the tournament and a large sum of money. She’ll get all of it if she survives. But when I got to know the girl better, I realized: she’s beautiful. It seems Ava is in danger—not just from the duel. But from me as well.
