Lush worldbuilding. Ruthless fae. Intelligent animal companions, and exactly zero awkward smut scenes. You're welcome.

In a scented court of secrets and silk, two fae defy a king, betray their vows, and risk war -- all in the name of love and vengeance.

Jessamine has always known her place: beneath her mother's rule, outside the circles of true power, and far from the riches of the royal court. But when the Calyx -- an elite retinue of magical performers -- offers her a place among them, everything changes. With two rare familiars and a talent for flora magic, Jess is thrust into the heart of the scented court... and into the path of secrets she was never meant to learn.

Across the continent, Laec -- once a court favorite, now a disgraced fae drowning in wine and sorrow -- is ordered to be his queen's eyes in distant Solana. There, he finds a woman held captive by Prince Faraçek: a ruthless noble whose ambitions could shatter kingdoms. The woman is betrothed, silenced, and precious to more than just Laec.

When the king refuses to act, Jess and Laec make a choice that could brand them traitors. Together, they will uncover buried truths, challenge a rising tyrant, and ignite a rebellion that could cost them everything.

But the most dangerous secrets wear the fairest faces. And Faraçek is not done with them yet.
