He’s a ruthless fae prince. I’m the human thief forced to fight him for the throne. In this deadly game, only one of us can survive. I’ve spent my life scraping by on the streets, stealing just enough to survive. But when I snatch a cursed bracelet, it drags me into the treacherous realm of the fae—where monsters prowl, magic is power, and deception is a way of life. The fae believe I’m a lost princess, destined to claim one of the five thrones that rule their world. The only way to escape is to play along—except that means competing in brutal trials designed to test fae strength, magic, and cunning. I have none of those things. What I do have? Street smarts, a talent for lying, and an infuriating attraction to my greatest rival. The fae prince is everything I hate—cold, arrogant, and ruthless. He sees through my every trick, pushes me to my limits, and enjoys watching me suffer. But after one reckless, forbidden night together, I realize something far worse… He might be the only one who can help me survive. Winning means power. Losing means death. But in a world where alliances are as dangerous as enemies, trusting him could cost me everything. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy romance, deadly trials, and morally gray fae princes who ruin you in all the best ways.
