NOTHING WITH THE FAE IS EVER FREE, ESPECIALLY NOT VICTORYโฆ Ceana Campbell wakes up in Duntulm Castle after surviving the battle with the nuckalevee, believing that itโs only a matter of days until her curse is lifted. Gavran will return for her as soon as he heals from the wound the nuckalevee gave him, and Lady MacDonald will take them to her fae contact. At least, thatโs how it was supposed to go, but magical wounds arenโt like natural ones. The nuckalevee infected Gavran with a poisonous venom when it struck him down. Within a fortnight, heโll die a painful death unless they can find an equally magical cure. THE MOST DANGEROUS MONSTER IS SOMETIMES THE ONE WITHINโฆ Gavran Andersonโs mind is no longer his own. Whatever the nuckalevee venom has done to him, the physical effects are the least of his worries. Heโs not even as terrified as he should be that the only way to cure him involves facing another fae whoโd rather see them suffer. What scares him the most are the voices in his head. The ones telling him that the people he thought were his friends want him dead. That heโll feel better if theyโre gone. Can Ceana find a way to outwit an opponent more cruel and cunning than she ever imagined possible before time runs out? Or before Gavran kills her first?
