Bookseller recommendation
“This book is a solid continuation of the first, though the plot struggles to stand on its own. While we gain deeper insights into the main characters, the antagonist remains underdeveloped until the very end. A notable highlight is the best friend finally crossing into the Other World, adding a fresh dynamic to the story. The romantic elements remain strong, though the frequency of spicy scenes has decreased, earning it a three out of five on the spice scale. Despite these issues, the series remains compelling, and I am eagerly anticipating the third and fourth installments, fully invested in the characters' journeys.”

From bestselling indie author Laura Thalassa comes the newly revised and edited second book in her smash-hit dark fantasy romance between a siren and the “bargainer” she owes countless favors to.
She survived the mad king … but the nightmare isn’t over.
Siren Callypso Lillis still wears the physical reminders of her time as Karnon’s captive, even after reuniting with soulmate Desmond Flynn, the King of Night. Not only that, but mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls, the being responsible for the disappearance of countless fae warriors, is still out there.
Invited to an annual Solstice celebration, Callie and Des journey to the Kingdom of Flora to continue their investigation. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, new complications arise, ones that no amount of bargaining can undo. Soldiers begin to go missing from the gathering, and some of the fae begin to suspect Des is the man behind it all. To Callie, one thing is certain: no one is who they appear to be. Not even her soulmate.
Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want horrors too unspeakable to name. Something is stirring in the Land of All that Grows, and if Callie isn’t careful, it will claim everything she loves—and her along with it.
Laura Thalassa was born and raised in Fresno, California, and spent her childhood cooking up fantastic tales with her best friend. Lucky for her overactive imagination, she also happened to love writing. She now spends her days penning everything from paranormal romance to young adult novels. Laura Thalassa lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her fiancé, author Dan Rix.
