Perfect for fans of Ella Enchanted and Margaret Rogerson’s An Enchantment of Ravens, The Bluebell King’s Ball is a standalone, no-spice Cinderella retelling that will take you on a lush journey through Faery, where humans and fae live side by side. Careful not to leave your heart somewhere in the spring or autumnlands…

A human maiden with no past. A desperate faery prince with a badly-worded bargain. And a beautiful ball scented with bluebells and painted with blood.

Va Malla has spent all her life in the Wild Tangle, caring for her beloved fae sister and brother. Until the day Prince Ignis arrives to whisk her into a world she never realized existed outside her manor.

Ignis has searched every obscure corner of Faery for a maiden just like Va Malla—human, about eighteen, uncertain origin. But nothing short of a poorly-thought-out faery bargain will pry the stubborn maiden from the place she’s always known.

As Va Malla travels across the autumnlands with Ignis, her reality breaks apart, piece by piece. Her home, her family, even her name, was all a cruel illusion. All she can cling to is the prince’s promise of a ball in Bluebell Ruin. Ignis believes she could be the lost princess stolen from the Bluebell King long ago. If Va Malla can evade Faery’s monsters and make it to the springlands, she has a chance of claiming not just the crown of a princess, but the love of a father she’s never known.

Fighting his fae nature, Ignis has to handle the human with care. Faery is dangerous, and the girl is ignorant from years spent only in the Wild Tangle. Beautiful though she is, beauty in Faery is as common as poison and just as deadly. He has to fulfill an old faerytale, one that love can never be part of, if the world is to ever survive.

But the world he’s trying to save can be just as cruel as his wicked brother.

And the pages of some faerytales are stained with tears.

Each book in the FAE OF THE DESOLATION series follows a different main character, a desperate human who finds herself entangled with powerful fae royalty. The series can be read as standalone novels with their own HEAs, but is best read in series order to follow the overarching storyline of saving the world of Faery from a heartless king bent on its destruction.
