Court of Ravens and Ruin

A human lady defiant. A Prince of dark fairies. A marriage between two adversaries has the potential to ruin their world.

Reyna was born into the Gold Court as a prized slave and spent her whole childhood being held captive in an opulent palace by rapacious, nasty faeries.

She seizes the chance to flee as the palace is attacked. But her biggest fear is in charge of the raid. The Prince of the Shadow Court, the most dreaded fairy of all. And he has a single desire.

She. The person with runes and copper hair.

Reyna is unaware of the reason for the Prince's abduction. She knows she has to get away from the monster hiding behind the mask before she is forced to stay with him forever, however, when he declares her to be his fiancée.

But when the mask comes off, he's not who she thought he would be. He is attractive, deadly, and reeks of sin. He also needs her.

Drawn into a dangerous, secretive society, Reyna is anxious to keep her identity a secret and has to figure out how to get out. She runs the danger of more than simply dying if she doesn't. She runs the danger of giving her seductive captor everything.

The first novel in the Shadow Bound Queen series, it draws inspiration from Viking culture and Norse mythology. Gorgeous fairy Vikings. It's a slow-burning, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance with a hero who would stop at nothing to save her, and it has shades of Hades and Persephone, Beauty and the Beast. The show is full of myth, magic, and exquisite suspense, and it gathers steam slowly but surely.

Eliza Raine created a whole new universe with Brides of Mist and Fae that has nothing to do with the Dark Gods of Olympus.
