Something's up in the world of the fae. No one knew that Eugenie was also Odile. Now, every fae she crosses lately knows both her names. Then there's her meeting with Wil Delaney and his desperation over his sister's disappearance. It's all just too weird and too unsettling so Odile heads out to a bar to take her mind off it. A good place to be alone with company. Although, it does result in most unexpected company when she meets Kiyo Marquez. A gorgeous hunk of a veterinarian who takes her back to his hotel room. 
 Oh yeah, they have a good time. Until the Ice Elemental shows up and Kiyo reveals himself to her. 
 It doesn't take long before Odile decides she will take on Delaney's job despite what everyone else is telling her and isn't it just her luck that Volusian just happens to lead her right to King Dorian. Who offers to help. For a price. And it's almost successful except for that betrayal from which they escape thanks only to the fox. 
 Yet there is one thing that comes from this failure. Eugenie learns the truth about her past, her father. A truth that forces her to become more intimate with the fae, with King Dorian. Pushing past her own boundaries. Learning to use her magic.
