I'm the last person a secret government agency wants to call for help.I spend my days selling New Age trinkets to humans and my nights drinking with a street-hustling alchemist.

It is foretold that she will unite with the Unseelie and become an evil tyrant. But she's been there and done that with the villain thing, and she won't go down that path again. Trixie must prove to the world that she's changed. Thankfully, her sister Raina always has her back, as does her aunt, Queen Gloriana. Life would be grand if most of the Immortal Brotherhood weren't watching her every move, waiting for her to mess up so they can drive a stake through her heart—both literally and figuratively. But Trixie is no helpless princess. She's a fighter. She will fight for her throne, her loved ones, and even her very soul. She just has to disprove the prophecy, uncover the true intentions of the Unseelie Prince Thane who thinks he can just waltz into her palace and marry her, and go toe to toe with Arabella Larkin, the most formidable witch who's ever lived. No biggy.
