Book Description for Book 1
Chloe Rosenbel is a mortal apothecary with no love for Faerie. The last time she stepped into the magical realm, a fae warrior named Quintus betrayed her trust beyond repair. She vowed never to return—until the handsome deceiver comes pleading for her help.
Chloe doesn’t believe Quintus’s claim that her heroic sister is in danger. But when Quintus drags her back to Faerie, she discovers her sister is trapped in a castle and the fae are powerless against the intruders’ iron weapons. She performs a ritual that will give her the magic to save her sister, except it accidentally binds her to Quintus.
Unable to use magic without touching Quintus, both Chloe’s heart and wits are tested. Affections she’d thought long gone still linger, and fears she’s not strong enough to save anyone haunt her every action. Can a timid apothecary find the courage to face her feelings and save her sister, or will her doubts doom everyone she’s ever known and loved?
Lose yourself in this slow burn fae fantasy clean series filled with a magical binding, deadly revenge, and a brooding warrior who falls first—and falls HARD. Perfect for fans of Mistborn, Sarah J. Maas, and Eragon.
