Three kisses freely given

Three times the bargain made

Three kisses freely given

And bound in time the trade.

Gracie Fellows only wanted to save Prince Tavian.

Now the bargain she made is tightening like thorns around her throat.

A masked kiss at the school dance

-without consent, recorded and shared-turns her life into a cage of whispers.

In Ebonreach, Thornhelm and Smerdante are closing in.

At home, Seth's quiet control tightens its grip.

With mock exams looming, and the fae debt demanding more than she intended to give, Gracie must learn the difference between protection and possession and what it truly means to give consent when the cost is still unfolding.

Because some bargains are made in shadow - and truth does not always set you free.
