IN THE UNDERGROUND FAE REALM, ONLY THE STRONGEST AND MOST RUTHLESS HAVE POWER - BUT A YOUNG HUMAN WOMAN FORCED INTO A LIFE OF SERVITUDE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING
'A darkly enchanting page-turner laden with sensuality and intrigue' THEA GUANZON
****
Kenna Heron is a servant in the faeries' underground kingdom of Mistei. Known in her village for being a little wild, Kenna must help her mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn't, the punishment is death - for them both.
With only a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and harrowing tests . . . But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in secrets and passion. With time against her, Kenna must decide if she's willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.
Surviving the trials will take cunning, courage, and an iron will . . . but even that may not be enough.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hawley (A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire) nimbly pivots from contemporary paranormal rom-com to full-on romantasy in her steamy Shards of Magic series opener. "Half-feral" Kenna Heron would do anything for her best friend, Anya Hayes. So when Anya is chosen to march through a treacherous bog to the Fae Court as a gift from their human village to the fairies of Mistei, Kenna follows. Idealistic Anya believes they're headed to a life of luxury; cynical Kenna worries the Fae are malevolent and hopes to either escape or at least die together. Upon arrival, the monstrous King Osric appoints Kenna as maidservant to Lara, heir of Earth House, during the Fae trials, a tournament that grants the victors immortality and magic. Though this is meant as an insult, there are advantages: magicless Kenna can go where the fairies cannot and illegally help Lara in the trials. When charismatic Prince Drustan of Fire House and mysterious Lord Kallen of Void House also realize how useful a human spy can be, Kenna is swept into court machinations that could lead either to her freedom or to her death. The inevitable sex scenes sizzle, but Hawley truly shines in her depiction of female friendship. Fans of Sarah J. Maas will find much to enjoy in this twisty tale of rebellion and romance.
