Welcome to the opulent, deadly world of Eraeon.

Last year, Riva's twin sister disappeared on the winter solstice when faeries stalk the streets and steal away girls. This year, determined to find her, Riva decides to bait the faeries and is whisked to their hidden realm, Eraeon.

In Eraeon, she expects hell, not a beautiful nightmare, as she is forced to compete with the other human girls in trials, and battle for the affection of the faerie princes. Nykolas, the Crown Prince, is the most captivating of the wicked monsters and is notoriously aloof. Riva doesn't expect to catch his eye—or to find herself so irresistibly drawn to him.

As she navigates the treacherous faerie court, where one false move by a human girl could result in death, Riva discovers that Nykolas might hold the key to finding her sister—literally. She will have to steal his Blood Key, a special magical device that he never lets out of his sight, and betray his trust in the worst kind of way.

With sinister forces working against her and time running out, Riva finds herself entangled in a perilous dance of deception and desire. And the stakes extend far beyond her own survival.
