*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A lethal fae court. An honorable soldier. And a hidden identity that could destroy them both.
In the Scented Court, power is wielded through rare flora magic. Vesper belongs to an elite retinue entertaining the aristocracy, but her glamorous life is a lie masking a dangerous past. When an anonymous threat arrives, her secrets endanger the one magical creature she will do anything to protect, her moth familiar, Morpho. Regalis, an elite fauna warrior flanked by a fierce raptor familiar, is sworn to uphold the law of the court—until a brutal murder and a sudden kidnapping force him into an uneasy alliance with the mysterious botanist.
Trapped in a web of dark generational secrets, Vesper must decide if she can trust the honorable soldier with the truth she buried deep. But Regalis has his own duty to uphold, and forgiving her web of lies might mean sacrificing his honor.
As past sins collide with present court dangers, survival requires building an unbreakable bond of trust with the one person they were born to distrust.
