Slova tak sladká a smrtící (2026)

Half-fairy Elessia could have had everything. Her magic allows her to compel anyone to obey her will with a single look, but after a tragic accident she is thrown into the fae king’s dungeon and forced to swear a blood oath that binds her to his service. Five years later, she lives among humans in Ellow and waits for the king to come and collect his debt. When he finally does, Elessia must become involved in human affairs and discover whether the current regent, Loche, is connected to strange events in the fae realm. The promise of freedom forces her to accept the task, even as she is constantly watched by Merrick, a deadly guardian assigned to oversee her. As the attraction between Elessia and the distant regent Loche grows, she begins to suspect that far more powerful forces are at work. Burning passion can easily turn into icy hatred, especially when her betrayal is exposed. Elessia suddenly faces a choice between her own freedom and the freedom of an entire nation, and her decision will cost her everything. In this gripping dark romantasy set in the world of the fae, Sophia St. Germain weaves a story of hatred turning into love, steadily mounting tension, and intricate intrigues.
