Her life changes completely as she's swept into the care of the House of Dragons-an elite training program for gifted Fae. On the year of her 17th name day, each student will be chosen by one of the 12 tribes of Alandria to enter society. Everyone is chosen, except Kerrigan.

Street thief Kierse should have known something wasn’t right. Now she’s trapped in a library — with a monster. She can’t run. She can’t hide. And this man – this being, filled with terrible power and darkness — is well within his rights to kill her. By trespassing, Kierse has broken the fragile peace treaty between monsters and humans. But instead of killing her, Graves does the unexpected: he offers her a job. A chance to find out who she really is.

Reyna Carpenter was promised paradise. She was delivered into hell. Giving up her body for money was supposed to be the hardest part of becoming a blood escort. She never expected to lose her heart to her dark, enigmatic boss, Beckham Anderson. After being taken by a depraved captor who plans to rule the world, Reyna will do anything to return to Beckham. She just has to find the will to survive this game.

Kerrigan Argon, a half-human, half-Fae, has joined the Dragon Society against almost everyone's wishes. A year of training is required with her dragon. First, she must travel with the dark Fae prince, Fordham Ollivier, back to his home in the House of Shadows. Nothing but slavery and death has ever awaited a half-Fae in their halls.

Against all odds, Kerrigan Argon passed her dragon training. She's now an official member of the Society. Everything should be well. But somehow, nothing is. Her dark prince, Fordham Ollivier, has disappeared in hopes to beak his curse. An unwanted wedding looms in her future. And the council election draws ever nearer. An election that she's been unceremoniously nominated for. If all of that wasn't enough, the Red Masks, an anti-half Fae, anti-human terrorist organization, are gaining ground. All because they have a spy inside the mountain, inside the Society itself.

The job was supposed to be simple: steal a goblin-made bracelet off of the Queen of the Nymphs in her own palace. Until everything goes sideways and Kierse ends up needing help from the one person she was determined to avoid: Graves. As enigmatic and devilishly handsome as ever, Graves’s help always comes with strings. And Kierse wants nothing more than to be in charge of her own destiny. After playing the part of pawn for ruthless men, she doesn’t want to be lured back in to his centuries-long game. But lured she is.
