A reluctant poisoner and outcast Changeling is dragged back into the deadly politics of Faerie.
A discarded Changeling battles prejudice, an identity crisis, and forbidden love as she risks everything in a deadly Faerie tournament to claim a place and a future she can call her own.
Titian, a Changeling, has finally carved a quiet, solitary life for herself in the Borderlands of Ostaria, making poisons for anyone who can afford them. But when a Fae lord she never wanted to see again returns and demands she participate in the Heir Trials, she is forced to do something she swore she never would: return to Faerie.
As Titian discovers more about the rising animosity between Ostaria and Faerie and its impact on Changelings, she is forced to reconsider everything she thought she knew—and, perhaps, everything she thought she wanted. Alongside new friends and a tall, dark, and mysterious Changeling male named Jasper, Titian must finally confront her past.
Will the reluctant hero try to win the Heir Trials and perhaps even Jasper’s heart, or will she return to the isolated existence she desires most?
