A woman is sent to assassinate the fae king, but finds herself trapped in his castle instead. She expects to die, but he’s been alone for fourteen years and even a would-be assassin is better than the ringing silence.
A respectable lady might not be able to survive the castle, but a scandalous one… a scandalous one might not just survive but thrive.
I’m a sucker for deadly main characters who are secretly soft for the romantic interest and this one delivers! A little bit Beauty and the Beast, a little bit Hades and Persephone, and with interesting world-building, I flew through the pages!
A grumpy professor travels to a remote village to study the local fae, but she finds more than she expects. Filled with suspicious villagers, a devoted pet, and a handsome rival professor, I loved it all!
So I was super late to this party, but I adored this book and the next one (A Court of Mist and Fury), and I’m working my way through the rest of the series. Magic, fae, a strong main character, an interesting world, and plenty of twists and turns!
