A USA Today Bestseller
In the underground Fae realm, only the strongest and most ruthless have powerâbut a young human woman forced into a life of servitude is about to change everything.
Kenna Heron is best known in her village for being a little wildâsome say half feralâbut sheâll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court.
Trapped as a servant in the faeriesâ underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesnât, the punishment is deathâfor both mistress and servant.
With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and grueling physical tests. But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the inventively sadistic faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellionâs leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if sheâs willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.
Surviving the trials and overthrowing a tyrant king will take cunning, courage, and an iron will... but even that may not be enough.
