I need him. But I can't trust him.
When Winnie's little brother is bitten by a monster in the fae-infested marshlands bordering their village, he begins to slowly petrify. Determined to save him, and buoyed by rumors the fae in their waterlogged castle have lost the ability to glamour, Winnie decides to brave the mangroves and infiltrate their court for an antidote. She can't fight or use magic, but she has a gift for acting-and lies are a currency the fae can't afford.
Reed, a lowly half-human indentured servant at Windstone castle, has endured years of abuse and will do anything to escape. When he encounters a desperate human girl, more valuable than she knows, Reed seizes the opportunity to strike a bargain-one that's anything but honorable-while agreeing to keep her safe from the lush but deadly habitat she's plunged into.
Bound by necessity, Winnie and Reed scheme to achieve their goals, but as their feelings and attraction grow, secrets threaten to tear them apart. When betrayal and violence turn her world upside down, Winnie must decide if saving Reed's life is worth the cost of endangering her brother's-and her own.
Caught between realms, Winnie will have to put on the act of her life to keep her family-and her heart-safe.
