Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll experience deliciously painful angst and become obsessed with characters who live in moral grey areas.

Synopsis

"Before I met you, I thought Nightmares were creatures of pain and darkness. Why, then, are you constantly seeking freedom and light?" Fortuna's entire life has changed. She has no idea how to balance her new responsibilities and who she used to be. There are hundreds of faeries in her head, her brother seems to have lost touch with reality, and a werewolf won’t leave her side. Maybe the utter lack of control is why her abilities seem to be changing, as well. Then there’s Collith. Enigmatic, beautiful, and infuriating. Not only a king of the faeries she despises so much, but also her mate. His gentle pursuit causes confusion in her normally unwavering relationship with Oliver. As a result of it all, Fortuna now finds herself surrounded by new enemies and ones from the past. The question isn’t whether she is strong enough to make change in such a corrupt court. It’s whether she will survive long enough to do it. TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of rape, toxic relationships, suicide, domestic abuse, and slavery.

At a Glance

Second book in the Fortuna Sworn series—significantly hotter and darker than book one. Fortuna navigates life above ground while juggling assassination attempts, fae politics, and a love square that includes the Unseelie King Collith (her mate) and the infuriating Seelie King Laurie. The pacing is relentless with constant blindsides and betrayals. KJ Sutton does not hold back on the dark content—sexual violence, slavery, and abuse are on the page. The slow burn tension from book one ignites here. Ends on a cliffhanger. Not standalone—read Fortuna Sworn first.
