Elora lives for her sword, but her skill can’t save her family from ruin. To protect them, she accepts an arranged marriage, only to be stolen away by a broodingly handsome fae prince before she can say “I do.” Now trapped in his cursed court by a magical bargain, she must train him to win a throne, but the greatest battle she faces might be the one for her own heart.

He’s a cursed fae prince. She’s the mortal with a sword who can save him.

Prince Brannick is everything she shouldn’t want: smug, powerful, and the ruler of a cursed, beautiful court. He expects Elora to teach him the art of the blade to help him win a deadly contest for a throne.
He doesn’t know her own dreams are just as sharp, or that she’d do anything to get back to the world she left behind.
