No one was ever born less suited to ruling than Rissa, the thorn of the seelie realm - a half-fae so wild she's spent the better part of a hundred years in the woods.

For all her flaws, she's the last of the high court bloodline, and the southern king seems to think that's reason enough to slap a crown on her feathered head. He needs her to unify the seelie forces. She needs him to forget about that nonsense.

In an effort to aid her people without condemning herself to a lifetime of misery, she sets off on a journey to find the one person with a stronger claim to the throne than hers: the cursed prince.

Sealed in the mountains of the Wilderness, under many spells, the heir of the first seelie queen is the only royal strong enough to protect the fae lands from their immortal invaders.

Surviving the untamed tribes and awakening a thousand-year-old prince seem a lot easier than ruling an entire kingdom where everyone hates her very nature.

And her choices won't come without consequences.

I honestly wasn't sure at the at the beginning as I strongly disliked the king but the twist at the end actually surprised me and make me happy I stuck it out. I'm hoping there will be more to this series.

This book was a struggle to read. The book felt more like two teenagers were RPing and created a story that was okay at best. It felt like a lot could have been expanded upon, and that the end was rushed and awkward, and right before the epilogue there was a shoehorned sex scene. It just felt stilted and awkward in many places.

Story of a bunch of idiots who's kingdom deserve to fall. im like why did this author right this, it must have been one of her older works because this story is a waste.
