The first book in a spellbinding new fantasy duology, featuring a cursed heroine, a rotting kingdom and a prince with far too many secrets. Perfect for fans of ONE DARK WINDOW and THE CRUEL PRINCE.

Eloria cannot lie. It is the curse she was born with. She has lived her life isolated at the Museum, protecting powerful artifacts from falling into the wrong hands. She has devoted her life to its protection and has never questioned it. Until now.

When a mysterious entity breaks into the Museum and steals an artifact capable of unravelling the border between worlds, Eloria reluctantly enlists the help of a band of collectors to help her find it. Leader of the group is Theo who is arrogant, infuriating and inconveniently handsome. Together they follow the trail deep into Woodlark.

But the kingdom is rotting. Rebellion stirs beneath the Faerie Queen's carefully constructed peace, and nothing – not the kingdom, not Eloria's companions and not the prince she is trying desperately not to fall for – is quite what it seems.

This journey may be Eloria's only chance to find the answers she has searched for her entire life — if the truth doesn't destroy her first …
