Prologue
Earth Fae residein a world of peace and flowers. We value life. We encourage growth. We adore vitality and prosperity.
That was the world I grew up in—a universe warmed by the sun and caressed by love.
Now I’m trapped in the darkness, fighting for my existence among a horde of treacherous Midnight Fae. Trust does not exist here. Hearts are often broken. And mate bonds mean nothing to the male fae who reside in this realm.
Those are the lessons I’ve learned these last few months during my captivity in the Midnight Fae realm.
They promised to teach me how to control my growing dark powers.
They promised to keep me safe.
I naively started to believe them.
Then they lied.
The cold black stone beneath my bare feet is evidence of their betrayal.
The looming cell with iron bars and a cold-faced gargoyle define my fate.
But I won’t take this lying down.
If it’s a fight they want, I’ll give them one. I’m not going down alone. I refuse. They got me into this mess. It’s only fair to invite them to the party of chaos.
I’ll bite my tongue.
Bide my time.
And destroy them just like they destroyed me.
The jail door clinks shut while two of my mates watch with merciless expressions. I don’t bother meeting their cold gazes. I already know what I’ll find—unapologetic righteousness.
In the end, I’ll burn those smug grins right off their faces.
I’m no longer the meek little Earth Fae they held captive here before.
Now I understand their rules.
And as soon as I free myself from the magic of these bindings, we’ll play.
Prepare to bow to the queen, boys. I’m coming for you.
