Book #1 in the spellbinding QUARTER MAGE series from award-winning, bestselling author Angelina J. Steffort. "Hasn't anyone told you there are all sorts of wicked creatures roaming the fairylands?" Princess Sanja never asked for a crown-or a cage. When she escapes an arranged marriage to a brutal lord, her only goal is freedom-until betrayal shatters her escape and death comes for her on royal orders. Saved by forbidden magic thought lost to time, Sanja is dragged back from the brink-into a realm that wants her dead. While her husband believes her buried and gone, she's thrust into the cruel, glittering fairylands, where humans are hunted for sport and mercy is a myth. To survive, she binds herself to the a group of Mages and falls under the watch of Tristan: cold, powerful, and maddeningly beautiful-and the only thing more dangerous than the enemies hunting her is the growing pull between them.As Sanja's magic grows, so does her hunger for answers-and for the man who guards his secrets almost as closely as his heart. But in a realm where love is a weapon and being human is a curse, trusting the wrong person could cost her everything. Perfect for readers who crave sharp-tongued, flawed heroines, dangerously powerful heroes, and slow-burning enemies-to-lovers tension-THE QUARTER MAGE is a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and magic that exacts a price in blood. This series is part of the ALCUNIARE.
