Description
Stephanie Burgis delivers another irreverent, sparkling and sexy instalment in the Queens of Villainy, in which a seductive fae queen meets her unexpected match in the enemy empire's valiant general.
Queen Lorelei is a notorious fae seductress, with a trail of broken hearts in her wake. But behind her glamorous lifestyle and sparkling mask lurks a dangerously intelligent woman who'd do anything to keep her people safe, even kidnap the empire's most famous hero.
The virtuous high general Gerard de Moireul represents all that is moral and true. He has to - after his parents were executed for treason. The last thing he needs is the Queen of Balravia, who showers glitter and rainbow-colored sparkles everywhere she goes without the slightest regard for good taste, decorum or royal dignity.
They're opposites in every way, but when they're swept up together in a grand - and deadly - fae tournament, they discover all of each other's most hidden truths - and how perfectly they might be suited for each other after all.
