Delightfully sharp, emotionally rich, and a damn good time' Lauren Oliver, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Delirium trilogyShe's a barmaid who doesn't believe in fairy tales. He's a prince cursed to live one. Aren Bellamore has no interest in being anyone's princess. She's too busy running the Raven's Beak tavern, fending off unwanted marriage proposals, and dreaming of escape. But when a brush with death and a dangerously handsome stranger upend her life, Aren finds herself bound to a bargain that could change everything. Prince Dietan has carried the cursed Rings of Fate ancient weapons of devastating power since childhood. The magic is killing him, and the enemies are closing in. To make the journey to reverse his curse, he needs a bride to hide his secrets. Aren wants freedom. Pretending to be his fianc�e should give them both what they want.
