When I watch a portal open in my vanity mirror, you bet I’m rushing into it, especially when my stepmother is chasing me with a kitchen knife.

 

My life is anything but simple. Having lost my mother at an early age and then my beloved father ten years later, I’ve spent the last four years living with a woman who puts the word ‘wicked’ in wicked stepmother.

 

To say our relationship is volatile is a grand understatement. And when a confrontation on my eighteenth birthday comes to a dangerous head, fate intervenes, opening a portal from another realm. 

 

Sure, I’m no stranger to the fae realm. As a fantasy author, my father wrote countless stories of the land of Faelan, but reading fictional stories and seeing it come to life with my own eyes are two quite different things.

 

I wake in a fairy market, a place where fairies are sold into slavery, and within minutes, I find myself being pursued by the handsome Cillian Greyhand and his royal guards.

 

When I’m captured by the high fae prince, I expect to be imprisoned for my offense, yet what I find instead is anything but expected. 

 

With my unique gifts forged through tragic circumstances, I catch the attention of not only the men of the royal family, but others with more menacing intent.

 

Who knew that one spontaneous decision could change everything, not only for myself, but the fate of an entire realm.

 

Watch out Faelan. You may be creatures of fairy tales, but I’m Senna Lively—a human, and nothing can prepare you for the likes of me.
