Aoife, a kelpie princess, can drown men with a mere touch - a power that's served her well until now. But when an iron trap threatens her life, the last person she expects to save her is Fagan, a starving peasant with kind eyes and combat potential that could make him the perfect gift to Queen Mab. If only training him didn't make her yearn for something more than freedom. Fagan has lost everything to plague and poverty. When he finds a deadly water horse caught in his trap, he should flee - not rescue her. Yet as Aoife transforms him from a broken man into a warrior, he finds himself falling for the fae princess, even knowing she plans to trade him to the Sidhe queen. But with supernatural hounds hunting them and deadly court politics at play, their forbidden feelings could destroy them both. In a world where nothing comes without a price, can either of them afford the cost of love?
