Alluring love, heart-stopping danger, and sinister intrigue combine in the penultimate level of Melissa Marr’s #1 New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series.

Half-human and half-faery, Ani is certainly driven by her hungers.

Those same appetites also attract powerful enemies and uncertain allies, including Devlin. He was made as an assassin and is brother towards the faeries’ coolly logical High Queen also to her chaotic twin, the embodiment of Battle. Devlin really wants to keep Ani safe from his sisters, realizing that if he fails, he will end up being the instrument of Ani’s death.

Ani isn’t one to end up being guarded while some fight battles for her, though. She’s the courage to protect herself and the ability to alter Devlin’s plans-and his life. The two are drawn jointly, each with cause to fear the other also to fear for just one another. But as they develop closer, a more substantial threat imperils the whole of Faerie. Will saving the faery realm mean losing one another?
