When fae warriors descend on her village, Elera offers the only thing she has left to save her sister: herself.
Whisked away to a realm she never knew existed, Elera becomes a guest of King Haldorin-a fallen God of Death cast out for a forbidden love. His kingdom is a gilded cage, cursed to vanish for ten years at a time. Elera has only months to escape before the shadows swallow her and the island forever.
Standing in her way is Cal, the King's lethal captain. He is her jailer and her enemy, a man whose loyalty belongs to the God who holds her sister's life in the balance. Elera knows she must gain his trust to survive, but in the forced proximity of the castle, every conversation is a dangerous chess move.
In a land built on slow-burning secrets and ancient debts, Elera must decide how far she's willing to go to win her freedom. But in the court of a fallen God, the greatest danger isn't the curse-it's the man she's forced to rely on.
