Publisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods comes The Heir & the Spare, a never-before-published novella in the Of Flesh & Bone series!
SPOILER WARNING: This book is overflowing with spoilers and should only be read after devouring What Sleeps Within the Cove.
Once, I’d spent my life in the tunnels beneath the mountains. Now, I’m bound to a husband I didn’t want.
My mother waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone where the Lunar Witches hid me. She sent her greatest weapon, the God of the Dead, when the Veil finally fell.
But I never expected to love his human mate, Estrella, the way I did–to feel the sisterly bond between us as if it had never been interrupted in our lifetimes spent apart since a rogue witch took her away.
But Mab sees love as a weakness, and she uses my bond with Estrella to manipulate me into a betrothal I never desired.
This marriage is a cage, a means of control that goes against everything within me.
But when Estrella is banished into Tartarus, I am left no choice but to journey to the Summer Court and take my place as a bride and a queen.
No matter what I leave behind.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A supporting character in Woods's bestselling Of Flesh and Bone series takes center stage in this whirlwind romantasy (after What Sleeps Within the Cove). A map, glossary, and character list at the start help reorient readers to this dark, medievalesque world, where "human women are subservient to their male counterparts." Against this backdrop, series heroine Estrella's best friend, Fallon, is forced into marriage with a stranger by her mother, Mab, the evil queen of the fae Shadow Court. Her husband is Etan, the new king of the Summer Court, where Mab's brother once reigned. Mab believes the marriage politically expedient, unaware that Etan has his own reasons for wanting the match, including his desire to protect his court and his undeniable attraction to Fallon. For her part, Fallon is reluctant to marry and leave her people behind, but when Mab's violence escalates, she must flee to safety with Etan. During their tumultuous travels, feelings blossom on both sides. Woods proves her series is capable of expanding beyond the narrow focus of Estrella and Caldris. Fans will be excited to learn more about Fallon and watch her enemies-to-lovers romance play out.
