Lonnie Skyeborne always knew at least three things to be true:
1. She was human in a land of fairies.
2. She hated the royals above everyone else.
3. She was a liar.
Except, ever since becoming the queen of Elsewhere, everything Lonnie knows to be true is crumbling around her. The castle has fallen, the crown has been stolen, and the kingdom of Elsewhere is overrun by rebels and monsters.
It's a bad time to be a human in the country of Elsewhere . . . except that might no longer apply to Lonnie. While on the road to Aftermath, the human queen is finding it harder and harder to speak a falsehood . . . especially about whom she claims to hate.

The dark reveals all secrets.
Lonnie Skyeborne is a liar and proud of it. From the moment she was born, her mother sensed there was something extraordinary about her daughter and taught her to never reveal the truth of who she is. But now, Lonnie is alone and trapped in her own web of lies.
She is the queen in name only, and afraid to trust anyone, even the princes who claim to be her allies. She still has four deadly hunts to complete before she can escape her bargains with the Everlast family, and meanwhile war is looming in the country of Elsewhere. Trusting someone-anyone-and revealing her secrets may save her life, but it could also spell doom for generations to come.
So, who to trust?
Prince Bael, Lonnie's beautiful but dangerous part-time ally. Prince Scion, the wicked and powerful former heir to the throne. Prince Gwydion, the brilliant and manipulative healer.
Or, perhaps, a new ally could make themselves known under the cover of darkness.

Fae games will change you . . . but their love will ruin you.
At least, that's what my mother told me. My mother had three rules:
1. Never make a bargain with a fairy.
2. Never enter the Waywoods on a hunting day.
3. Never give the High Fae princes a reason to notice you.
But even when I followed all the rules, the royal fae still took my family from me. So in one night I broke all three rules, and brought the kingdom to their knees.
