A fae girl on the run. A cruel winter soldier who left her for dead. And a mysterious castle that may ruin them both.Eighteen-year-old Kolfinna is a fae, a near extinct race of "heartless" monsters. She was hunted down once, by the beautiful and wicked winter soldier, who loathes her kind. He released her, but not before leaving a mark, a reminder of his terrible power. When Kolfinna is captured a second time by the Royal Guard, they surprise her by asking for her help. She can earn her freedom if she can help them conquer an ancient, sentient, fae ruin. All who enter die and none can ever escape. The prize to win the trials within the crumbling ruins are riches, ancient artifacts, and great power. If Kolfinna can lead the guards through the ruins, she's free forever. But her freedom comes at a price. Blár Vilulf, the powerful, vicious winter soldier will also be there. And he remembers her. If she's not careful, and the ruins don't kill her first, he certainly will finish the job he started. The Ruins of the Heartless Fae is the first installment in the Heartless and the Wicked series and is perfect for epic fantasy readers who love fast paced action, elemental magic, and a very slow-burn enemies to lovers romance.
