Every lie she tells comes with a price
She was sent to steal a prince's destiny. She never expected fate to choose someone else.
Aeralynn is the only fae who can lie.
Every new lie tears at her throat, drawing blood with every word. But after a lifetime of being trained as the king's weapon, she's learned that pain is simply the price of obedience.
Her latest mission? Make Prince Zalen believe she's his fated mate.
Armed with a potion that mimics the mating bond and a lifetime of deception, Aeralynn convinces the desperate prince that she's the one he's been searching for. The plan is working perfectly.
Until she touches his guard.
One accidental brush of bare skin ignites a true mating bond between Aeralynn and Cai—the very man sworn to protect the prince she's deceiving.
Now she's trapped between a lie that could save her life and a truth that could get her executed for treason. To confess means defying the king who made her a weapon. To keep pretending means standing beside a prince who believes she's his destiny while denying the bond pulling her toward another.
And Cai must choose between his sworn loyalty to his prince and the woman fate has bound to him.
She was trained to lie. But fate has other plans.
Can a love built on deception survive when the truth could destroy them both?
