THE HEIR OF THE AUTUMN COURT I have spent my entire life living at the whims of my father; trying to please him, trying to keep my family safe from him. It was important for everyone outside of the Autumn House to believe I was the monster my father wanted me to be. It was the only thing keeping me alive, keeping my siblings alive. I had been good at it too, until him. THE ASSASSIN OF THE WINTER COURT When one random meeting of the courts revealed a bond I hadn't known existed, it put everything I'd worked so hard for at risk. I'd never wanted a mate. Most did, but I was realistic. I knew that having a mate was akin to a shackle around my ankle, tethering me to death. It was luck then, that the male that godsdamned string connected me to only continued to stare at me with hatred in his eyes. Whatever I felt, the bond... he didn't. A HIDDEN MATE BOND Life continued, I kept my distance and the bond stayed hidden from everyone, including my mate. Which was just as well, since Hael was loyal to the Winter King and if he ever found out, he would likely kill me and save himself from the unfortunate possibility of ever having to love me. AN IMPOSSIBLE LOVE STORY But my luck was running out. My father grew further from sanity as the years passed and he was taking steps to restart a war long over. His first step is to send me into the Winter Court with a task that will put me right into my mate's path, and at the risk of meeting my bloody end by his blade.
