An action-packed urban fantasy where deadly secrets, supernatural politics, and passionate romance collide.After surviving a brutal battle with the forces of Fairy, Persephone Alcmedi is left with more problems than answers. She now carries dangerous secrets she must hide from both the magical and mundane worlds—and she’s somehow responsible for feeding and sheltering dozens of displaced supernatural creatures living behind her cornfield. As if that weren’t enough, her foster daughter Beverly’s tenth birthday party is right around the corner. But the most pressing complication comes from Seph’s boyfriend, Johnny, who has revealed himself as the wærewolf Domn Lup—the king of the werewolf world. The current ruler of the wære realm is on his way from Romania to verify Johnny’s claim, but Johnny hides a perilous truth: his magic is locked within the intricate tattoos on his skin. Without it, his crown—and his life—are at risk. Seph and Johnny must race to unlock his magic before political rivals destroy him. Yet in the cutthroat arcane world, strength must be constantly proven, alliances shift like shadows, and every victory comes at a price. Now Seph must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the man she loves—and whether the cost will be paid in power, loyalty, or blood.
