These Hollow Vows- Lexi Ryan
From New York Times best-selling author Lexi Ryan, The Cruel Prince meets A Court of Thorns and Roses in this sexy, action-packed fantasy about a girl who is caught between two treacherous faerie courts and their dangerously seductive princes.
The story follows a young woman named Brie, who doesn’t want to have anything to do with the world of the Fae. But when her younger sister is sold to the Unseelie Court, Brie is willing to risk everything to get her back, including making a deal with its king to steal three dangerous items from the Seelie court in exchange for her return.
But, of course, that mission turns out to be a lot more complicated than Brie anticipated when she must pose as a potential bride for its prince in order to gain access to the Seelie court. The result? Heart-pounding kisses, faerie court intrigue, conflicting loyalties, betrayal, and two very swoony princes all add up to the perfect summer read.
The official synopsis offers more details about the story.
"Brie hates the Fae and refuses to have anything to do with them, even if that means starving on the street. But when her sister is sold to the sadistic king of the Unseelie court to pay a debt, she’ll do whatever it takes to get her back—including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the Seelie court. Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court is easier said than done. Brie’s only choice is to pose as a potential bride for Prince Ronan, and she soon finds herself falling for him. Unwilling to let her heart distract her, she accepts help from a band of Unseelie misfits with their own secret agenda. As Brie spends time with their mysterious leader, Finn, she struggles to resist his seductive charm. Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty. And with her heart."
These Hollow Vows is available on July 20.
