Court of Sacrifice And Curses

The remorseless sovereign prince of my realm discovered I hid his son. Now I'm at the mercy of a Fae who has none.Four years ago I fled his realm with nothing but an illicit spell and a shattered heart. I was born marked. Striped hair, a birthmark, the kind of difference my people don't survive. But I had a deeper, darker secret. My blood carries magic the laws of my realm punish with death. So I kept my forbidden power hidden, and I ran. I built a real life on the other side of the veil. A home. A little boy I would die to protect. I swore I would never go back. Until I discovered my father was dying. Weeks, maybe less, before he was lost to me forever. One visit, in and out, and no one would ever know I was there. I was wrong. Nixk knew. In a kingdom ruled by bloodline, a royal heir is never safe, and that makes my son a target. If I leave again, I go alone. If I stay, the castle becomes my cage and the royal court my keeper. He calls it protection. The worst part: he's right. Nixk is more formidable than I remember. More obsessed with making me his. And beneath the resentment, the part of me that remembers his tenderness agrees. Even knowing that if he ever learns what I truly am, death would be a kindness.
