Fortuna Sworn

'We were meant to be seductive. We were designed to lure humans in.'

Fortuna Sworn is the last of her kind. Her brother has disappeared, leaving her alone. She hides among humans, spending her days working at a bar and her nights searching for him - until she catches the eye of a powerful faerie.

Collith desires Fortuna. And if she will bind herself to him, he offers something irresistible. So Fortuna leaves her safe existence behind and descends into a world of glamorous creatures and deadly power.

She soon realises it's not just her heart she has bargained with - but quite possibly her life.

'I told you the crown came at a cost.'

Fortuna's world has been transformed. The faerie court is whispering in her head, her brother has lost touch with reality and an obstinate werewolf won't leave her side.

And then there's Collith: her enigmatic, beautiful, infuriating mate. She hates him, so why is he causing her such turmoil?

But as the new Queen of the Unseelie Court she is determined to uproot the corruption around her. The question is not if she has the strength - it's whether she can survive long enough.

There was a moment of incandescent, blinding light. I was weightless. I was fearless. I was free. And then I woke up.

Fortuna has made terrible sacrifices to protect those she loves. Her powers may be getting stronger but she feels broken. Collith is fighting his own demons and is further away than ever, while Laurie remains a tempting, frustrating mystery.

But Fortuna knows she must hide it all from the Court. In a world of monsters, it's when you are most vulnerable that your enemies - new and old - start closing in.

'Monster, monster, come out to play. Monster, monster, I've been waiting all day.'

Everything Fortuna believed has been revealed as illusion and lies. Everything has changed.

Now a prisoner in the Seelie Court, Fortuna discovers the game she has been playing is deadlier than she could have imagined. There's no time for pain or healing. There is only survival.

Because a new threat is emerging from the shadows. An opponent who doesn't fight with swords or magic. An adversary she cannot overcome.

It turns out Fortuna didn't know the meaning of fear... until now.

To protect the ones she loves, Fortuna has left everything behind.

She can't let down her guard. She can't rest. She can't stop moving. Not if she doesn't want her ever-growing abilities to be used as a catalyst for a monster's entrance into the world.

Fortuna thought she knew death. She believed herself well-acquainted with betrayal. But now she stumbles upon one more secret. One more answer to a question she's been asking for over a decade.

One more truth that might shatter her completely.

‘Become what you were meant to be.’

Fortuna has been to hell and back. The battles in the faerie courts may be over, but with Lucifer now free, the war for the world has just begun. Collith and Laurie have both declared their love, but she’s terrified of losing them – and of loving them back.

To save those closest to her, Fortuna will have to lead the Fallen in one last epic battle. And ultimately, she must confront – and master – the dark power within herself.
