One mistake ruined her life.
Abandoned by her first love--or so she believed--Lady Constance Mayweather carved out a life of security for herself and her son with a man she did not love. When her husband is murdered and her child stolen, she must rely on the one man she knows she should not trust to bring her son safely home.
One mistake cost him everything.
Wealthy, witty, sinfully handsome Quinn Rutherford is the despair of hopeful Victorian debutantes: a man with nothing better to do than gamble, drink, and seduce his way into an early grave. But this shallow exterior hides her Majesty’s perfect Agency operative: clever, ruthless, reckless, fearless. A tangled web of murder, kidnapping, and a plot against the throne lead Quinn to brave the dangers of the Fae realm itself to save the woman he loved and lost--and the child he never knew--from forces he cannot fully comprehend.
In a race against magic, time, and the pain of the past, can they get to their son before he is lost to the Fae realm forever?
5+ STARS
Both Quinn and Constance had such depth to them and they both pulled me in pretty quickly. I cared what happened to them. I also cared what happened to Constance's son, Leander. He also causes some surprises on his own, even for as young as he was.
The written imagery is so out-of-this-world good. Both in the creatures, the Fae world's, each Fae realm having their own rules, and the dangers that the main characters encounter. But there is also some good supernatural "people" in the story too. Some of them bringing their own brand of humor.
The story is totally unpredictable which I enjoyed. Also some of the additional people in the story were enjoyable and often helpful.
For me, the story comes to a great ending, bringing some relief and joy as well. I enjoyed every bit of it.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
