He believes she's here to kill him, and yet her beauty is a parasite that has mercilessly latched onto his mind and won't let go. He itches to feel her smooth skin, even though the Unseelie royals would rather burn than touch a human.

And so, he challenges Callie to three deadly trials.If she survives, she gains her freedom.If she doesn't? His wrath is only just beginning.
