Brenna longs to start her new life away from her family's kingdom between the mortal and Seelie lands. But her dreams are shattered when the Unseelie King's right hand arrives, claiming her as part of a deal not of her own making. Forcing her to leave her home and join the king's court.

To protect herself and everyone she holds dear, she must follow the king's three rules:

Do not escape.

Sleep beside him each night.

Never look upon his face.

If Brenna can obey him for just one year, she will receive her freedom as her prize. It only requires her to learn how to live on the dark, sensual, and dangerous island of the monsters determined to poison her with her own hate.
