The darkest of nights create the brightest of stars.

When Serena is sacrificed to the immortal fae, she expects death, not to be cast into seven deadly trials. Lose, and she’ll belong to the cruelest of queens, one who delights in breaking those who defy her.

Survival is all that matters. That is, until she meets a ruthless fae general with secrets as dark as her own. He is a temptation she shouldn’t crave and a face she should forget. For even love can become a weapon.

As monsters strike from the shadows, Serena awakens magic strong enough to topple kingdoms. She isn’t who she thought she was, and if her enemies uncover the truth, they’ll destroy her before she can shatter their rule.

Her life. His freedom. A war that could tear the world apart.
