About this book
Keeping the royal house alive costs its mortal caretaker a piece of herself whenever she makes the walls obey.
A sharp mortal servant can alter the bones of a ravenous faerie palace, but every change is paid for with her own body. When the regent prepares to feed an entire human district to the palace, she must work beside its cruel heir, whose blood commands the doors while her practical care can redirect them. Their hostility shifts through forced cooperation and divided loyalties as saving the trapped mortals demands a choice neither can escape.
