When Lyria, hiding among humans, finds herself trapped by a curse meant for a cruel fae prince, the solution to escape is simple: ending his life will grant her freedom. But while his heart still beats, the curse remains-and so does she.
Despite her intentions, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him, uncovering a connection to her past that challenges everything she knows. With time running out, she must choose between honoring the lie that protects her or unleashing her power and saving the life of the fae she's no longer sure she can live without.
Will she find the courage to set aside centuries of loathing and a lifetime of fear for a chance to embrace her true self, or will Lyria forever regret what could have been?
