Two sisters.
Two dark fae male captors.
This is war, and they are the spoils.
Prantia Onivia’s life has always revolved around her spoiled and entitled younger sister Magdalia, who possesses a rare, powerful magic. Her sister is Favored—important in a way Onivia will never be.
When death fae rebels invade Onivia’s wedding feast, it’s because of Magdalia.
The Croith, the death fae’s Night King, wants Magdalia. So, his army cuts a bloody swath through the wedding, killing Onivia’s new husband, killing her father, her brothers. All to take Magdalia away.
Onivia vows to save her sister, who is now all she has left. However, Onivia is being held captive in a fae war encampment, claimed as the Centurion Larent’s prize. She is powerless to stop him from doing what he wishes with her, and she is marked for his bed.
Magdalia is taken to the north, to the capital city. On the journey, it is made clear to her that when she arrives, both her magic and her body will be used at the Night King’s whim. The two of them are halves of a fated prophecy, and together they will unleash untold power. Then she is flung at the hem of his black robes, and she is stunned.
She knows him.
Painful, passionate dark fae fantasy. Lovers and enemies all at once. Morally gray characters. Vengeance. Love that is more agonizing than hate. Magic. War. Slave revolts. Warnings for explicit content, mature language, and non-consensual sex. Not for the faint of heart.
