Embor Fiertag, Primary of the Court, has overcome no tougher challenge than the three facing him right now: get reelected, capture the rogue agents who tried to murder him, and improve his love life. The third one should be easyβexcept he hasnβt exactly told Court trainee Anisette Serendipity sheβs his foretold bondmate. Plus, sheβs dating his chief political rival and doesnβt seem to like Embor. At. All.
Ani has good reason to avoid the stern, serious Embor. Her wayward sister almost got him killed once, and now he monitors Ani like he expects her to do worse. But Aniβs not the adventurous type. She canβt even break up with Warran Torval, a man she knows she doesnβt want, a man who spends half his time plotting Emborβs downfall.
When Torval attempts to force a bond with Ani, Embor senses her fear and steps inβ¦directly into an unsavory political strategy gone all too right. Forced to flee together to humanspace with a manipulative magical cat, Embor and Ani must find the courage to revealβand healβtheir vulnerabilities before the fabric between the Fey Realm and humanspace is ripped to shreds.
