A family promise draws a musician into the land of the fae

Alixandria Knight arrives in Ironhill, Pennsylvania, hoping distance from her ruined marriage will let her escape reality. Instead, a chance encounter takes her to the land of the fae, where she learns that her grandmother Isabelle once broke a promise to marry a king. The family secret links Alix’s present-day troubles to a debt the fae still claim is owed. The premise combines a modern fantasy-romance setup with elements identified as Beauty and the Beast and Anastasia, centering on inherited consequences, a broken promise, and Alix’s effort to settle her family’s account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in fantasy romance and modern fairytale retellings
  • Readers drawn to stories involving fae, family secrets, and inherited debts

Book overview

What if Belle never returned to the enchanted castle?

 

After her cheating husband ruins her life, twenty-nine-year-old musician, Alixandria Knight, moves from Chicago to Ironhill, Pennsylvania-a near-abandoned Appalachian ghost town with a firey history. Officially, she's there to help her aging grandmother. Unofficially, Alix just wants to escape reality.

 

She'll get her wish.

 

When a one night stand with a wickedly handsome stranger turns out to be more than she bargained for, Alix is whisked away to the land of the fae. There, she uncovers her family's darkest secret: sixty years ago, Alix's grandmother, Isabelle, broke her promise to marry a beastly king. Now, the fae are hungry, and it's up to Alix to clear her family's debt.

 

Beauty and the Beast meets Anastasia in this spicy and addictive modern fairytale mashup from the USA Today bestselling author of Wilde Fae.
