Blurb:

When Auralie Roberts first meets the man of her dreams, he’s being tortured in themliterally. Obsessed with saving him from the monsters armed with iron weapons, she craves sleep for three long months, if only for the chance to see him again.

The day one of those monsters hunts her into the real world, Aura meets Wren, a cocky High Fae man who saves her life and explains that human women like her are being hunted and killed.

To protect those she loves most—including herself—Aura makes a bargain with Wren and finds herself fleeing into Faerie to seek protection under the High King.

Instead of salvation, Aura only finds secrets. Dark, twisted truths about herself, her family, the High King of Faerie, and even the man from her dreams.

He’s real, but can she save him before it’s too late? And when she finds out who he is, will she still want to?
