The prince is convinced Imogen will fall in love with him, and that her new powers, once she's turned sidhe, will help his country win a centuries-old feud. With the help of the prince's much more tolerable brother, Imogen starts to get her feet back under her, but even he can't protect her from those who would use her for her powers. If Imogen can't find a way to fight for herself, she'll become a pawn in a world that has already decided what she's going to be. For readers who enjoy From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L.
