A curse in itself, considering that Lysander is promised to another High Fae in exchange for military support in the upcoming war. The stakes-if Lysander loses his allies and therefore the war, Xerxes will turn the human realm into hell on Earth, before he takes over all the other realms.This means that our bond is forbidden, nothing short of a tragedy.

I'm trying to suppress my feelings, but seeing Lysander every day, royal and deadly, moving around like a sleek feral, it's driving me crazy with forbidden desire. I should leave his Court, take distance, but I can't, because Xerxes is after me. So when an alternative presents itself, I grab on to it with both hands. It's dark, and bloody, and it might just kill me, but it might also save the world.

This is Book 2 of the Fae of Darkness series.
