Her family broke a bargain with the fae—but she must pay the price—in this dark, lush romantasy from BookTok sensation Clare Sager. Annon’s life in a remote seaside cottage may be quiet, but it’s far from idyllic. Thanks to a mysterious illness, she must rely on her beloved family, even as she strives to hide the worst of her pain from them. Everything changes, however, when her brother gifts her an oddly beautiful mirror, inadvertently inviting one of the fae kings of the Underworld into their home . . .

Cold and cruel, Drystan explains that many years ago, her father offered his firstborn daughter as a bride for a fae king of death in exchange for his life, and payment is long overdue. Whisked away to the Underworld and its perilous unseelie court, Annon rebels, attempting over and over to run away, until Drystan offers her a new bargain: escape his deadly labyrinth and he will set her free. Fail, and prepare for their wedding. But all is not as it seems, and Annon must make an impossible choice: return to the home she’s always loved or claim her place in a world where she might finally belong.

Author Biography

Clare Sager writes fantasy stories with adventure, intrigue, darkness, and a heaping spoonful of steamy romance. Her favourite tropes include enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and tricky fae bargains that just might be more trouble than they’re worth. She lives in Nottingham, Robin Hood country, so it’s no surprise she writes about characters who don’t always play by the rules. When not living in a fantasy world, she’s sketching, lifting weights at the gym, or spending time with her husband and their two troublesome cats.
