One desperate bargain. Two impossible worlds. A choice that will cost her everything.

When apothecary Wren Marlowe finds a dying fae prince bleeding starlight in the forest, she makes a choice that will shatter her simple mortal life forever: she saves him.

The debt binds her to three months in the Autumn Court, a world of impossible beauty and casual cruelty, where bargains are law and compassion is weakness. Prince Kael offers her brother's life in exchange for her service, and Wren has no choice but to accept. She doesn't expect the fae prince to be kind. She doesn't expect the Court to be navigable. And she certainly doesn't expect to fall in love with someone from a world that will never truly be hers.

But when the Queen forces Wren to become a pawn in a deadly succession trial, survival requires more than just fulfilling her bargain. She must learn to fight, to scheme, to navigate fae politics where a single misstep means death. And as her feelings for Kael deepen, Wren faces an impossible truth: loving him means choosing between the mortal brother who needs her and the fae prince who's become her home.

Some bargains can't be broken. Some choices destroy you either way.

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Cruel Prince, and A Deal with the Elf King, this slow-burn fantasy romance features:

  • Enemies-to-lovers tension that burns
  • A mortal heroine who refuses to be underestimated
  • A morally gray fae prince learning compassion isn't weakness
  • High-stakes succession trials and deadly Court politics
  • Binding magical bargains with devastating consequences
  • Found family and fierce sibling bonds
  • A romance that spans worlds and defies time itself
