A letter from the authorsWritten by Kel & Aurelia for deluxe readers.
The contract was simple: steal the prince, escape unseen.
I'm the best bounty hunter in the business. I find lost artifacts that people would kill to possess. I'm also broke. When a notorious leprechaun offers me a job I can't refuse, I realize too late I'm not hunting an object.
Spoiler alert: I failed. Horribly.
The moment I step into the fae kingdom beyond the veil, I feel it—someone watching me. Waiting for me.
King Vareck.
He's nothing like I imagined—fierce, unyielding, and as cursed as the frozen lands of Faerie. An ice-cold ruler whose very presence bends the room to his will. He shouldn't care about a thief like me, but we have one thing in common.
Vareck is more than just a king—he's the man who has haunted my dreams for years. And apparently, I've been in his too.
He's been searching the nine realms for me, and I never thought he was real. Now that he's found me, he has no intention of letting me go.

What readers are saying
"One of my favourite reads of 2025! I couldn't (and I mean couldn't!) put this one down. I demolished it within a day… I was laughing aloud from Corvo's antics and swooning in my seat from the steamy love between Varec and Meera."
