A Wingless Hope (Hope Ever After, #17)

Can one find hope when the pixies' survival depends on the return of their lost princess?

When Briar Firewillow was just a small pixie within a seed, she was bonded to young Prince Quinn Thistlethorn. But the day took a terrible turn when the Shade King was killed and her seed was stolen. When the world is so much bigger than her, she grows up not knowing who or what she is. At least until she's rescued by pixies just like her, who reveal a shocking secret-that she's married to the King of the Shades.

Briar must navigate an unexpected relationship with a handsome pixie and learn her new role as Queen. But when a dangerous outside enemy threatens to tear them apart once again, they need to decide what they must sacrifice-love or duty. And hearts will break as they learn the cost of true love.
