When the magical weapons master agreed to save the continent from a mysterious mist plague, she didn't know it meant fake dating a dangerous fae leader.
Rose ran from her grief and the fae courts to a reclusive life in a remote village. When the encroaching mist sweeping across the continent hits too close to home, a weapon she forged proves more valuable than she could have imagined. Unfortunately, the handsome fae from the market notices, too.
Deadly and determined, Luc is more than he appears. Rose may be the continent's best chance for survival, but that means returning with him to the home she fled. And his plan to hide her in plain sight as his romantic partner only makes things trickier.
Their fake relationship proves complicated as together, they unravel a history of selfish gods and corrupt leaders. Rose must confront her past and decide if Luc fits into the future of the fae courts she's fighting for.
Fans of cozy vibes but higher stakes will love this complete romantic fantasy trilogy with fake dating, elemental magic, an animal companion, and a strong female main character. This book will appeal to readers of softer fantasy stories like Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries.
