I am half Bane and half fae, and in a world of fae and dark magic I am hated for both.
The Core fae slew the nine monstrous Banes after power tore our world open, but every Bane left a Plague behind to punish those who remained.
I endure the glares and the cursed outbreaks until a Plague strikes my city and makes death all but certain.
Then the Pied Piper clears it away and takes one hundred and thirty people as payment, including me.
I have to get home because my family's lives depend on it, but he refuses to let me go, drawn to the sweet scent in my veins as his magic works under my skin.
Something wicked is already stirring between us, and if I cannot escape, the danger will not stop with my heart.
