Mildred may be a princess, but she's also half fae in a kingdom of humans. She's spent her years tucked out of sight...until the Seelie Court seeks an alliance. The key? Mildred's hand in marriage to none other than Prince Atakan the Heartless.

The Seelie prince loathes everyone - but nobody more than his betrothed. In the lead-up to their nuptials, each encounter grows more terrifying than the last as Atakan proves to be as heartless as he is beautiful.

Fear would only doom Mildred faster. So she learns to hide it behind deadly games she soon finds herself happy to play. Mildred isn't supposed to crave a monster - or sink to his level. But just when she thinks she may be capable of taming the untamable, fate intervenes...and delivers her straight to Atakan's enemy.
