Powerful plant mage and heir-apparent to the Duchy of Eleusion, Penny Barclay lives each day under two strict rules: Don't shame the family's magical heritage, and don't allow any man to turn her head....

Paulo MacGregor cares for nothing besides changing Laurel's future and convincing her to trust him. After the rebels took the capital, fleeing to Iatrus Castle, his home, seemed the only option. However, even though he's brought Laurel to his home, fate has other plans.

Her mother had been a paragon of virtue, a woman of sense and ingenuity in Penny's eyes. Lou had been Penny's friend, her confidante, her mentor. But both of them had kept dangerous secrets.

Penny Barclay thought eating Faerie's sacred fruit would keep the rebels from gaining the upper hand, but it all went sideways. Not only have the rebels found footing in Faerie and taken down the Mist, but Penny is under fire by the fae with their deep-rooted prejudices against mages.

As Marquess of Delphine and the only oracular mage in the kingdom, it's Paulo MacGregor's job to report any threat that may grow within Olympia's borders. But he didn't. He knows about The Cartographer. He knows about the rebels and what they're planning. He knows it all, and he does nothing.

Prince Aiden is gone. Taken. Kidnapped by the fae and portalled to only the Goddess knows where. And Penny Barclay is determined to find him.
