Publisher Description

A binge-worthy story with strong characters, slow burn romance, and incredible world building. Get ready to be swept away.

In a world plagued by darkness and deceit, half-fae Celeste Westergaard is torn between her duty as the Commander of the Royal Regiment and her station as the next in line for the throne. On the rise are attacks from supernatural creatures, the carnivorous beasts sent by the Shadow Tsar to claim the lives of third-born fae throughout the realm of Terre Ferique. But as Celeste's homeland of Delasurvia faces turmoil and unrest, she is thrust into an arranged marriage to the Prince of Hedera, the Land of Ivy.

While the destiny of her kingdom rests on Celeste's shoulders, she must also face the threat of madness, a fate which could befall her if her fae powers do not manifest. And to make things worse, the prince's brooding half-brother carries a hatred for her she can't understand.

As Celeste unravels the mysteries hidden within Hedera, she must navigate a treacherous path to protect her kingdom and uncover the truth hidden within her own bloodline. A Dagger in the Ivy is a gripping tale of intrigue, danger, deception, and unexpected alliances.
