Hunted by the Fae King's Shadow

Good princesses never do wicked things... Sariah is the perfect Aethrolian princess: pious, pure, and obedient. She prays to her goddess, keeps herself chaste, and above all, despises the heathen fae. The Claiming is supposed to be a formality-a two-hundred-year-old tradition that allows the fae king to choose a human bride. Thankfully, he never has. And once he rejects Sariah, she can fulfill her dreams of joining the priestesshood. But then the unthinkable happens. King Amriel chooses her. Desperate to escape him, Sariah accepts the king's alternative to marriage: run the deadly Wildwood, break his curse, and earn her freedom. It should be simple-survive his maze, go home, forget the fae ever existed. Except the king's monstrous, beautiful brother is hunting her through the forest. And the deeper Sariah ventures, the more her beliefs begin to crumble. The fae are awakening something inside her, something she was taught to suppress. As the Wildwood closes in, Sariah must choose: break the curse and return to a life of devotion...or surrender to a desire that could be her ruin.
