From the USA Today bestselling author of A Touch of Darkness and King of Battle and Blood comes the second in a mini-series of novellas based on the grisly world of Grimm fairy tales.

Orphaned at a young age, Samara is left under the care of her three horrible brothers. Just when she thinks she cannot take another day of their abuse, a handsome prince offers for her hand in marriage.
Samara's brothers agree in exchange for a large dowry, but on her way to her new kingdom, her carriage is ambushed by Lore, the wicked Prince of Nightshade.
Samara believes that the fae has snatched away her chance at freedom to punish her for her crimes against his kind, but punishment is only half of Lore's plan.
The truth is that the Elven Prince has pined after Samara for seven long years. She is all he can think about—a toxin in his blood. Can the Prince of Nightshade, whose power over poisons rivals none in the Enchanted Forest, manage to find a remedy, or will he succumb to her love?
