There are three laws when dealing with the fae: never trust a fae, never make a bargain with a fae, and never go near a fae without a protective charm.The fourth law was unspoken... never fall in love with a fae. Jaye MacCullagh comes from a long line of humans who have taken on the role to guard the mortal world from the devastatingly magical and deceitful Otherworlds, the home of the fae of Irish myths. She always thought she was prepared to survive the fae's cunning unscathed but when her brother becomes ensnared by an Unseelie, Jaye will do whatever it takes to save her brother. Including striking a bargain with a solitary fae named Ravven Crowe. He will make her an assassin capable of killing faeries, but only if they both manage to survive the deadly challenges the courts put forward to test Jaye. Now inexplicably entwined with this arrogant fae, Jaye struggles with whether or not she can trust Ravven. If she doesn't then they will likely both die, but if she does... she might just lose her humanity. Something which once lost, can never be reclaimed. A quest for a faerie killing sword, an unbreakable bond, and one mortal girl caught in the midst. Laws will be broken in this fae fantasy trilogy. With heart-wrenching romance, bitter betrayals, and cunning intrigue this series is perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, An Enchantment of Ravens, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

"What...did you do?" I demand, my voice coming out gravelly and raw. It barely sounds like me.But then... am I really myself now?Ravven's eyes are wide and brilliantly purple. "You're beautiful." Jaye MacCullagh has managed to save Ravven Crowe from dying, but at what cost? Now a faerie and bound forever to the Otherworlds, Jaye is left feeling betrayed. Her choice was taken from her by the man who claims to love her. She never wanted to be a faerie, and she must now come to terms with the fact that she has become the very creature she swore to defend humanity from. Jaye never wants to see Ravven again, but when a faerie ball goes terribly awry she finds herself once again forced to ally herself to him. The vengeful spirits of long dead faeries have been released on the world and they will wreak havoc on everything unless a faerie is crowned as the high ruler of the Otherworlds. Only such an individual will be strong enough to defeat the ghost of the former high queen. But to wear the crown of dawn and fire is no small feat and requires one to have the fealty of all the courts. An all-but impossible task. Even if they succeed in their kingmaking, who will wear the crown and rule eternal over all the Otherworlds? And can Jaye truly trust Ravven after all they've done to each other, or will their cycle of betrayal bring about the destruction of themselves and all the faeries?
