They expect an obedient puppet. But she will dance on nobody’s strings.

​

As a human in the body of a fae triple goddess, Amy Larkspur was never going to fit in at the Spring Palace, but she had no clue life there would be so difficult.

​

While simultaneously trying to shirk her betrothal, navigate a cesspit of political unrest, and resist the yoke of patriarchal expectation, she finds her goals of changing the fae world for the better—and of finding the traitor working with the evil Shadow Prince against her family—almost impossible without the use of her divine abilities, something she’s been warned to hide from her court on pain of death.

​

At times, Amy thinks the only person on her side is Pete, her former captor turned lover, whom she must pretend indifference toward, as their forbidden romance could jeopardize her ascension to the throne many an entitled male seeks to claim. Unfortunately, events transpire to force Pete from her side just as unresolved grief from recent traumas catches up with her. Now isolated in a society that won’t accept her as she is, Amy starts to doubt the one thing she's always been certain of—her heart.

​

Will she persevere and take her birthright as her father intended? Or will she buckle under the pressure to obey those who’d control her, losing sight of her destiny and the salvation she represents?
