She fell in love with him...and then she killed him. Back from the dead, he craves revenge.
One year ago, Aurelia Sinclair assassinated Crown Prince Kaede of Willowbark to protect her family. Afterward, she fled the fae world, leaving her heart behind.
Until now, when Aurelia learns that the prince is alive and Willowbark is hosting a contest: thirty mortal women will compete for Kaede's hand in marriage. When her sister Callista volunteers, Aurelia, fearing for her safety, joins her as a guest of Willow Manor, an eerily sentient building that likes to play tricks on its inhabitants.
But while the contest is as deadly as Aurelia feared, a darker threat has emerged. Something bloodthirsty returned from the afterlife with Prince Kaede. Something that is contaminating his magic and threatening the lives of his people. And he's determined to exact revenge on the woman who brought this fate upon him.
Aurelia's only hope is to stay alive long enough to protect her sister. But as she's once again forced into close proximity with the prince she loved and lost, she can't help but long for a second chance...if they can overcome the darkness.
