About this ebook

Wendy has never liked games, but in order to survive, she has to play

As a ball is set to take place, Wendy, caught in a web of Fae machinations, finds herself playing a dangerous role in a contest for the hand of Pan, the enigmatic Dark Prince of the Fae. Despite her initial reluctance and her attempts to assassinate him, Wendy is inexorably drawn into the competition, where she must navigate a labyrinth of intrigue, deceit, and hidden agendas.

As Wendy grapples with her forced role as Pan's 'pet' and the intricate dance of court politics, she finds herself embroiled in a deeper plot.

Mysterious deaths, whispers of a secret weapon, and the looming threat of an unknown assassin shadowing Pan stir the waters of the contest. Bound by a collar symbolizing her subjugation and fighting against her rising attraction to the Dark Prince, Wendy's resolve is tested at every turn.

As Wendy's quest to uncover the truth about her brothers' fate and Pan's enemies intensifies, she must make difficult choices, risking her life and her heart in a world where one wrong step could be fatal...and betraying the Dark Fae Prince will cause any hope of finding her brothers to disappear...for good.

Ratings and reviews

This book felt like it was all about motivations. We still don’t know what’s driving everybody yet, but the trial challenges have forced both Wendy and Pan to question what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. Some of the enemies in the shadows are starting to step closer to the light, though there are so many questions waiting for answers. I’m eagerly awaiting our next opportunity to discover some of them. I received a complimentary advance copy of this book through Booksprout.

Oh the plot thickens as motivations are revealed a bit more and intrigue and cattiness abound. Poor Wendy must play along and hunt for answers as she is thrust into more intrigue and enters the first trial. It was fun, dark, entertaining and had me guessing what might happen next. Plus watching these two get closer was a riot. Enjoyed it and cannot wait to see what happens next.

I have been waiting for the next book, and I was not disappointed. Though we still have more questions that need to be answered and one big betrayal that I did not see coming. You find out who killed Seraphina and the others. This one ends with Wendy having to make a big decision. Now we wait for the next instalment. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
