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

Greer ratchets the stakes to devastating heights—the hunt sequence alone is worth the read, and the love triangle is genuinely agonizing rather than formulaic.

Synopsis

She survived the Forest Court. She survived the bargain. But will she survive the hunt? Cast out and marked for death, Briar believed the hunt would end if she managed to survive for three days. She was very wrong. Because with Malus free, old magic has awakened, hungry and wrong. Something that has slept for centuries has begun to stir, and it wants what Briar carries in her blood. When the Dawn Court offers sanctuary, Briar has to choose between the safety of light and the pull of shadows. As old enemies become unlikely allies and the corruption creeps closer, she discovers that some secrets the fae have kept hidden were meant to stay buried. In a world where love is possession, trust is deadly, and every choice demands sacrifice, Briar must decide what she's willing to become in order to protect what she loves. For readers want your fae courts deadly, your romance possessive, and the heroine to choose the darkness instead of fighting it.

At a Glance

Book 2 of the Fractured Crown Trilogy by Avelley Greer. Briar survives the Forest Court only to be cast out and hunted through fae territory where old magic is waking up hungry. The love triangle between two fae brothers is genuinely agonizing — both have legitimate claims on her heart. The hunt sequence is electrifying, the spice is bold and earned, and the ending refuses to play nice. Book 3 not yet released. The author has confirmed spin-off books are also planned.
