Princess Seraphina of the Gold Court has a secret: she can stop time. But in a court that values compliance over compassion, her magic is a death sentence. When she uses her gift to save innocent lives, her mother banishes her, trading Sera away in a marriage contract to the ruthless King of the Silver Court.
Her escort to her doom is Prince Drake Gossamer. Armed with shadow magic and a lethal reputation, Drake is everything Sera was taught to fear. But on the brutal journey through monster-infested woods, Sera discovers that the Prince's dark exterior hides a fierce, unwavering devotion.
Arriving at the Silver Court, Sera finds her nightmare is just beginning. A demonic presence has infected the Court, and the realm is crumbling from within. Thrust into a deadly game of court politics and ancient monsters, Sera must embrace her forbidden magic. Because Drake has vowed to protect her at all costs-even if it means slaughtering his own court to do it.
