Ten years ago, Jennifer Ward entered the Thorned Labyrinth to rescue her baby brother from the cruel and beautiful fae king Vael. She won-but barely. She left with the child, and with a heart she swore she hadn't lost.

Now, the Labyrinth calls her back. Her brother is safe, grown. She comes not for rescue, but for reasons she won't admit.

Vael is waiting.

This time, she doesn't run.

He offers her his throne. His bed. His name.

But fae games are never simple, and Jennifer soon learns that the Labyrinth remembers promises made in blood-and in pleasure. As their passion burns across illusion and dream, she must decide: surrender her mortal heart, or rule by his side as Queen of Shadows.
