About this book
A royal heir commands every door, but only a mortal servant can change where they lead—and each act of magic takes a piece of her.
At an opulent faerie court, a human attendant can reshape the carnivorous royal house, but every altered wall exacts a physical price. The court’s cruel heir opens any door by right of blood, while the attendant’s mortal care can redirect the passages, forcing two enemies to work together inside the walls. As distrust turns to divided loyalty, the regent moves to feed an entire human district to the palace. Together, they must decide whether power can be claimed without preserving the brutal system that grants it.
