I fled the fae realm four years ago with nothing but an illicit spell, a shattered heart, and a vow never to return. I built a life on the other side of the veil. A real one, in Yorkshire, with a home, a job, and a son who is proof that even broken things can make something whole.
Then my dying birth father appears in my family tree, and I have weeks, maybe less, before he's lost to me forever.
One visit. In and out. No one will know I was there.
But I don't go back alone. The moment Prince Nixk sees the dark-haired, golden-eyed boy at my side, he knows.
The prince who broke me holds every card. In a kingdom ruled by bloodlines, my little boy belongs to him. And that makes my son a target.
If I leave again, I go alone. Staying means surrendering my freedom.
If he discovers what I've done, death would be a mercy.
Nixk is more formidable than I remembered. More ruthless. More certain that I was always his.
The trouble is, I'm starting to remember why I believed him.
Court of Sacrifice and Curses is the first book in the spellbinding Ruined Realm of Shadow trilogy. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy with a morally grey prince, a heroine who refuses to kneel, and a second chance so tangled in betrayal it might not survive the truth.
Perfect for fans of Krista Street, Stacia Stark, and Penn Cole.
Tropes you'll love:
- enemies to lovers
- secret child
- forced proximity
