The Season is officially open. High society girls line up to bargain with the immortal Queen Moryen for qualities that will win them suitors : A perfect smile for the loss of a finger. An exquisite talent for piano in exchange for one's happiest childhood memory. Lady Ivy Benton's season arrives with a shocking twist — the queen announces a competition to win the hand of her fae son, Prince Bram. And marrying the prince is a prize that could save Ivy's family from ruin, and her sister from the bargain that destroyed her.
Yet every glittering fae deal has a rotting heart. And amidst lavish balls, vicious competitions and a dangerous alliance with Prince Brain's irresistible brother, Prince Emmett, Ivy soon realises that at the centre of this contest lies a dark plot that could destroy all of England — and her heart along with it.
