Kat, an impoverished noblewoman facing financial ruin, accepts a lucrative but dangerous assignment: to spy on Bastian Marwood, a powerful fae lord known as the Night Queen's Shadow. Pulled into the deadly intrigues of a fae court, she must draw out his secrets while guarding her own, navigating a web of desire and deception. As she becomes entangled with Bastian and the shadows he commands, Kat struggles to determine whether he is a threat to her kingdom, to her heart, or both, all while fighting for her own survival.
