“My lady here was a maid in the Summer Court palace, and I was a royal guard. We got caught … having a relationship, and were exiled.”
The gnome’s eyes popped open wide, but then he grinned. “Ah, she’s quite a looker, ain’t she?” He winked to Kade. The bear didn’t respond, but I could see tension lining his jaw. Of course, we hadn’t explained Nikoli’s presence, who the gnome was eyeing wearily.
“What’s his story?” the gnome asked, flaring his nostrils near my bag again. I dropped two cashews in his palm and he popped them into his mouth.
Nikoli pointed to Kade. “He’s my best friend. I got caught trying to help them get out of the palace.”
The gnome chuckled. “Two exiled high borns and a magic user in my woods? Frinnie won’t believe this.”
He began to walk away toward the village, then noticed we were still standing there.
“Come on, lads! Bring your food and I’ll agree to your terms. Two nights stay and some fine weapons. But no longer. I don’t need any more trouble with the Summer Court.”
Kade, Nikoli, and I shared a look. He had trouble with the Summer Court already? Interesting. I had no idea where on the map we were, but I intended to find out. I intended to find my best friend, get the hell out of here, and then get my crown back from Selene. You know the saying: All is fair in love and war? Well, Selene and the dark fae holding my best friend captive had definitely declared war, and I intended to bring it to them.
Queen Fae – NYC Mecca Series #3 is available to pre-order here now!
When the fae kidnapped Violet, they underestimated Arianna, Queen of the wolf shifters. There was literally nothing she wouldn’t do to save her best friend. Which is why she sets out with her mate and pack of dominants to rescue the magic born from the fae lands.
As she expected the Otherworld is fraught with danger, but there is one thing which takes her completely by surprise. A dark secret which could rock her world to its very foundation.
Arianna must now save her friend and herself. Because the fae have been waiting for her, and she’s just walked right into their trap.
