These Fates that Bind Us - Rachel Tork

Dreams and danger - that's what the Unseelie Court holds. And I've fallen right into its king's forbidden thrall.

Aster Quiin (aka Asteria Fairwae, the lost Seelie princess) likes to pretend her life is perfectly normal. And through a deal with her uncle, the regent king, that's mostly possible.

That is, until she dances with a beautiful, silver-haired stranger at a nightclub.

The stranger turns out to be Nox Ether, the notorious King of the Unseelie Court and her uncle's political enemy. Nox takes a darkly keen interest in Aster, his presence bleeding into more than just her waking hours. All the while, unrest stirs within the Unseelie Court as members of Nox's inner circle disappear and whispers that demonic forces are at play begin to spread.

When Aster's forbidden attraction to the Unseelie King and the threat of danger brewing in the courts become intrinsically linked, she is forced to face her fate... even if in the end, it's the death of her.

For fans of Laura Thalassa and Scarlett St. Clair, this urban fantasy romance takes a twist on traditional faerie folklore and features a morally grey love interest, a snarky heroine, and slow-burn spice.
