Series: Crown of Hearts and Chaos Book 2
Things have not gone how Ferris had hoped. Her sister is gone, and Hendrix is the necromancer and has taken her to his castle as his prisoner. But the Great Elm has given them a task that if they do not complete in time will cause Ferris to looser her life and will have Hendrix lose himself. They must work together even though they both feel that the other has betrayed them. Will they be able to get past this and find their way back to what they had started in the forest?
This is the second book in the Crown of Hearts and Chaos series. Ferris is learning how to work with the spirits she connected to in the forest. She has grown since the first book and still doesn’t trust the Fae but there is something about Hendrix and his family that she connects with. Hendrix is consumed by his anger but he can’t let anything happen to Ferris. The banter between these two is brilliant, and the chemistry is hot. In this book, we get to see more of the world beyond the forest. Hendrix’s castle is a character in its own right, and the Fae city is amazing. I loved reading this book and can’t wait to see where this series will go from here.

“Held captive in a castle surrounded by Hollows, Ferris is at the mercy of a Fae with nothing but hatred in his heart. Will she escape unscathed to fulfill her promises to The Great Elm, or will his sinful darkness consume her bit by bit?
Never listen to the pleas of the dead.
Never betray the oaths made to the spirits.
Never make a deal with a Hag.
Never trust the Fae.
The Great Elm placed a task upon my soul which only death or triumph can release me from.
I am more than I thought myself to be but less than fate seems to believe I might be.
Hendrix Bane has marked me for death as surely as I have marked him as my enemy. I am trapped in the castle of my adversary and all that passed between us before this moment has been cast aside like ashes from a fire that burned too hot and too fast to bask in.
My sister is lost to me once more and doubts gnaw at my insides. All the things I never wanted myself to believe have forced themselves to the forefront of my mind. Did I even achieve anything in those trees? Or will the world rejoice at my success only to curse my name for their downfall in the end?
I have an impossible task to fulfil and my accomplice in it has nothing but hatred for me in his heart. So now I’m at the mercy of the man who helped me survive the curse of the forest. And his wrath is nothing short of sinful.
I only pray I don’t lose myself to the corruption which has taken hold of him. And I don’t know if I will escape him before I’m consumed by it too.
But maybe that’s what I’m hoping for.”
