From USA Today bestselling author Holly Renee comes the indie sensation- a beautifully dark and spicy fantasy romance about the twisting threads of fate vs. duty and the all-consuming power of desire. Betray a kingdom or betray my heart. My union to the crowned prince will determine the fate of the kingdom, but it isn't my betrothed who haunts my dreams- it's the half-fae bastard who stands at his side. He is darkness and sin, and when he whispers wickedness in my ear, I crave a man I can't have. Every thought I have is treasonous. The way my hands ache to touch him deceitful. Even my dreams make me a traitor to the kingdom I am sworn to protect. But when our kingdom is attacked, I am forced to make a choice...and face a bitter truth. For our lies and deception are entangled in the shadows and stars, and as they unravel, so shall my fate.
