A magical weapons master might be the key to saving the continent; if only she didn’t have to fake date a dangerous fae leader to do it.

Rose ran from her grief and the fae courts to a reclusive life in a remote village. When the encroaching mist plague hits too close to home, her sword 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. While Rose may realize she’s the continent’s best chance for survival, his plan to hide her in plain sight as his romantic partner when he drags her back to the center of fae politics might take more convincing.

Together, they’ll unravel a history of selfish gods and corrupt leaders, and Rose must decide if Luc is her enemy, ally, or more as he threatens to uncover the secrets she's kept long buried.

An adult romantic fantasy set in a world inspired by United States National Parks. Fans of cozy vibes but higher stakes will love this enchanting new series 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 A Deal with the Elf King and Emily Wilde’s Encylopedia of Faeries.
