Isay is the only light fae in the court of death fae besides her mother who married their king. As the whole court drools for her life force it is not the safest place to be. Everyone is her enemy as far as she knows. Even as her attraction to one of her guards grows she will not fall for it. He is ruthless and cruel. That man killed another fae in front of her!
Karmuth is one of the death fae guards assigned to protect Isay. Only he really wants to touch her, knowing real well one touch would lead to Isay's immediate death. Battling with emotions, logic and something else, a hunger deep within that has nothing to do with craving Isay's life force and everything to do with his blinding desire for her, Karmuth finally learns why he is different from the rest of his court.
