On the constantly cloudy Isle of Skye, Rhea is the fae-cursed daughter of Laird Sinclair. To keep her father's unification of the Island Confederation, the thirty or so islands within the Emerald Sea, she has been promised as a bride to the son of an island lord. But things go awry at The Standing, a tradition where the men bid for a chance at her hand in marriage, the highest five bidders entering in a series of deadly games in an attempt to secure that chance. Her father has opened up the bidding to allow Mainlanders to compete. With threats of rebellion brewing and the threat of being shipped over the treacherous Emerald Sea, Rhea struggles between duty and autonomy. Enter Tate Gordon, the dark and brooding childhood nemesis of Rhea. He is the reason she is cursed, a childish wager of strength and bravery nearly killing her. He is back to bid on her hand at her brother's behest. But he holds other motives for wanting her as a bride as well. Things at the Engagement Games do not go to plan, casting Rhea and Tate into a world of the Fae, of curses and prophecies that leave death and destruction in their wake.
