Publisher Description

A standalone enemies-to-lovers fae fantasy—except she’s the only one who thinks they’re enemies. Imagine the no-spice romance of Pride and Prejudice in a fae world like The Cruel Prince with the found family vibes in FRIENDS.

Brynn never believed in fairytales—until one stole her mother. Everyone says she ran off, but Brynn saw the truth. Her mother was taken by something not quite human.

When her father and sisters vanish next, dragged into the winter woods by the same strange creatures, Brynn follows and falls head over heels into the Hollow Court: an underground fae kingdom rife with dangerous bargains.

In a realm where fae can’t lie, Brynn’s human ability to do just that becomes her greatest weapon. It gives her leverage when dealing with Soren—a handsome, unreadable fae who offers help in exchange for the power of her words. But there’s always a cost. The more she bargains, the more tangled everything becomes.

When a mysterious fae prince provides Brynn with a shortcut to the truth, she must decide who to trust as the veil between worlds begins to close.

Perfect for fantasy readers who love no-spice romantic tension, fae bargains, found family, a cursed prince, cozy fantasy worlds but with faster pacing and higher stakes, a grumpy Mr. Darcy who lost his wings, and a shy Elizabeth Bennett whose family was taken by the fae.

The Courts Beneath stories are all standalone novels set in a shared universe series. Despite taking place in the same world, their stories have no overarching plot and each story occurs in a completely different location. As such, these novels can be read in any order.
