No princess is guaranteed a happy ending. We have to fight for it. The Blood Fae infiltrate my lands, seeking to take over the Four Kingdoms. Their high leader wants my brother dead...and because her body is decaying, she wants to wear me as her new second skin. I'm not in the mood to be turned into a coat, or to bury my brother. I just saved him and united my males. I intend to enjoy this new life of mine and these four handsome, exasperating Fae kings. Time for me to teach these males of mine how to kick some vampire tushy. It's a nice kingdom we've got here...if we can keep it.

To escape a curse, I married four cocky Fae kings. The arrogant sea king who would pursue me to the ends of the world. The brothers of autumn, who have loved me, and hated me, and can't quite make their minds where they fall now. The winter king, who betrayed me to save his own court. The five of us are bound together, even if we're not sure now if we're enemies or lovers or both. My father, the High King of all four kingdoms, is still alive—and he'll stop at nothing to make sure I die instead of reclaiming my throne.

My twin brother, Faer, wants to see me either dead or married to the sea prince and dragged into the deep. He doesn't care which, as long I lose my claim on our throne. But I can't abandon our people to his cruelty. At least I have three of the best knights in the four Fae kingdoms on my side: Azrael, the charming prince who hates to love me. Duncan, the grouchy warrior who loves to hate me. And Tiron, my true friend - who has his own secrets that just might drown us.

One minute, I'm just an innocent, brave, beautiful young woman chasing down an evil vampire. The next, three sexy Fae jerks abduct me from my life of slaying vamps and saving puppies.
