Synopsis: In the underground Fae realm, only the strongest and most ruthless have power—but a young human woman forced into a life of servitude is about to change everything.Kenna Heron is best known in her village for being a little wild—some say half feral—but she&’ll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court.Trapped as a servant in the faeries&’ underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn&’t, the punishment is death—for both mistress and servant.With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and grueling physical tests. But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the inventively sadistic faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellion&’s leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if she&’s willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.Surviving the trials and overthrowing a tyrant king will take cunning, courage, and an iron will... but even that may not be enough.
