A Fate of Shadows and Flames - Bree Granado

nAs a human raised among fae, Aria has never felt like she truly belongs in the enchanting Court of Flames. Surrounded by the constant barrage of thinly veiled hostility by everyone around her, she's learned to keep her head down, her lips sealed, and her heart guarded. Even her adoptive father, King Pyrros, who rescued her after her human parents were slaughtered, treats her like an outsider.n nn nBut as her twenty-first birthday approaches, the king's sudden attention to Aria unnerves her more than ever before.n nn nTo Harlequin, the charismatic yet ruthless prince of a rival kingdom, The Court of Shadows, Aria would be the perfect pawn to tip the scales of the brewing tension between the courts. He concocts a scheme to kidnap her and leverage her captivity to force Pyrros into submission, giving him no choice but to retreat.n nn nBut it's a deadly miscalculation.n nn nThe girl he intended to manipulate is not so easily tamed. As the line between captor and captive begins to blur, her presence ignites conflict in his kingdom, threatening his precarious hold on the throne.n nn nWhen Aria uncovers long buried truths about her past, her role in the growing conflict between kingdoms is made painfully clear. Now, she must trust Harlequin -her once-sworn enemy- and work with him to end the war before it destroys the world to which she so desperately wants to belong. If they can't bring an end to the war and restore peace across the land, countless lives will be lost, and Aria will have no home, her future will be ruined, and she'll be left completely alone...forever.n
