Being human at a school for fae was never going to be simple—but now it's full-on chaos. Turns out, my closest friends are fae royalty in hiding. Or… they were hiding. The Winter Queen's been revealed. The Summer Prince is making it clear "charming" doesn't describe him. Yet instead of...

On the first day, she met her match. Then she killed 16 men. Tossed into the gladiator arena, the delicate girl in the fancy pink dress should have been the first to die. Leyli had other plans. Surviving was at the top of her list. Revenge was a close second.  

Being human, my life at Silver Oaks isn't quite a fairytale. This is a school for fae refugees, and I'm not one. Instead, I'm going to be a knight in shining armor—wielding the one thing none of them want to be around: iron. I'm just not very good at being a hero. My magic is dangerous to the...

He'd killed her brother, trying to claim the throne for himself, and sold her off to be a gladiator, hoping to get rid of her. It didn't work. Now, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure he can't destroy the country her family fought so hard to keep safe. Even a queen's number one job - she has to marry a noble and produce an heir.
