As the daughter of a simple country gentleman, Abigail Sumner has modest hopes for her life - a sound roof over her head, food on the table, a warm bed, and someone to love. But her father is determined that her charm and beauty are the keys to elevating him into higher society. When her hasty decision to flee this fate lands her in deadly peril, rescue comes from an unexpected source and opens her up to the possibility of life filled with magic and passion.
Killian Greydawn, Lord of the Court of Night and Defender of the Fae Realm, is trapped by painful obligation - caught in a bargain with a vengeful female who holds his people and all their magic in endless jeopardy. For forty-six years he has sought a way out, but with nothing to offer in exchange except himself, Killian's fading hope for a solution seems rooted in a cryptic prediction for an instrument of change uttered so long ago it has nearly faded from his memory.
But when their two worlds connect, immediate attraction flairs and the pair begins a passionate romance that sets them on a collision course with destiny. One that may force Killian to make unthinkable choice: save his realm's magic or the human woman who holds his heart.
