"Unbeknownst to mortals,
a power struggle is unfolding in
a world of shadows and danger.
After centuries of stability, the
balance between the Faerie Courts
has altered, and Irial, ruler of
the Dark Court, is battling to
hold his rebellious and newly-vulnerable
fey together. If he fails, bloodshed
and brutality will follow.
17-year-old
Leslie knows
nothing of
faeries or
their intrigues.
When she is
attracted to
an eerily beautiful
tattoo of eyes
and wings,
all she knows
is that she
has to have
it, convinced
it is a tangible
symbol of changes
she desperately
craves for
her own life.
The tattoo
does bring
changes—not
the kind that
Leslie had
dreamed of,
but sinister,
compelling
changes that
are more than
symbolic. Those
changes will
bind Leslie
and Irial together,
drawing Leslie
deeper and
deeper into
the faerie
world, unable
to resist its
allures, and
helpless to
withstand its
perils.
Melissa Marr
continues her
tales of Faerie
in a dark,
ravishing story
of temptation
and consequences,
and of heroism
when least
expected. "
