A desperate witch. A bargain with the devious fae. And a consequence that ripples across the realms. Katriane DuPont only wanted to save those she loved. An illness called The Red Death was killing her people and someone had to do something. But making a deal with the realm's ruler has its price. A witch's bargain is no exception when it comes to the Fae. The price to save Kat's people was beyond what she had anticipated. She's banished and hunted, both dangerous and in danger. Now, she must learn to hide and survive with a powerful dark magic she doesn't want, can't control, and can't resist. Magic everybody else wants. This is the very thing her mother foresaw. She had warned her. Witches don't strike deals with the Fae and walk away without consequence. And, in having done so, she triggered other's fates whose paths will intertwine, and sparked a war across the realms that's been brewing for centuries. From bestselling and award-winning author D. Fischer, arrives the highly anticipated and epic story of Rise of the Realms, a series for fans of Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, and The Black Witch alike.
