A Blossom at Midnight

When she joins the kingdom's most elite fae, she could lose everything—or rise above them all. Restless and rebellious, Jess longs to escape a life hidden in the shadows, beneath her mother's thumb. She may be only half-fae, but she has two familiars, which is enough to gain the attention of the Calyx, an elite retinue of entertainers whose flora magic enthralls the scented court. But beneath the opulence and fierce competition, dark secrets threaten not only Jess's beliefs, but her very identity—because there's only one way a fae can possess two familiars: to be born a twin. When a devious prince destroys her chance to find the truth, the only thing left is revenge. He vowed never to love again. Wretched and rejected, fae courtier Laec has resigned himself to a life of wallowing in wine and despair. But when his queen's premonition warns of trouble in far-off Solana, Laec jumps at the chance to escape. What he didn't expect was meeting a woman alluring enough to change his mind, and his heart. But she is betrothed to a prince, so she is not for him. When Laec discovers the prince is holding her against her will, he joins forces with an unlikely ally, resolved to rescue the princess-to-be and set her free. She expects a fairytale wedding but wakes up in a nightmare. Beautiful and dutiful, Çifta is honor bound to marry an unseelie prince. But when she discovers his cold heart and attempts to break the engagement—and her father's word—she finds herself in chains, alone, trapped, and helpless. Through marriage, the prince would gain her father's military support and wealth, so he does not intend to let Çifta or her dowry go. In a kingdom where beauty can kill, a half-fae looking for answers and a courtier hiding from love set out on an epic quest of rescue and revenge.
