Talysse has survived the back alleys of Tenebris by stealing, scheming, and keeping her head down. As a human and the daughter of traitors, life in the Unseelie-controlled city has taught her one rule:

Never, ever mess with Fae.

So what could possibly go wrong when she tries to rob the devilishly handsome stranger who arrived with the latest caravan?

Everything.

It’s bad enough he’s Fae.

It’s worse that he’s the heir to the Unseelie throne—

The prince who sent her parents to the gallows.

As punishment, Talysse is cast into the Nightfall Trials—a magical contest no human has ever survived. Beyond the city walls, night stretches...

Talysse has survived the back alleys of Tenebris by stealing, scheming, and keeping her head down. As a human and the daughter of traitors, life in the Unseelie-controlled city has taught her one rule:

Never, ever mess with Fae.

So what could possibly go wrong when she tries to rob the devilishly handsome stranger who arrived with the latest caravan?

Everything.

It’s bad enough he’s Fae.

It’s worse that he’s the heir to the Unseelie throne—

The prince who sent her parents to the gallows.

As punishment, Talysse is cast into the Nightfall Trials—a magical contest no human has ever survived. Beyond the city walls, night stretches for weeks, and magic—hoarded by the Unseelie—is the only defense against the demons that come with the dark.

And the ruthless Unseelie prince?

He’s not just her enemy.

He’s her rival in the Trials.

Talysse fights for her life—and for the future of her little sister. Aeidas fights for a crown soaked in blood.

In a world built on ruin and betrayal, they may be each other’s only hope or undoing.

The Nightfall Trials is a dark, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy, perfect for fans of Powerless, The Serpent and the Wings of Night, and From Blood and Ash.

The story of Aeidas and Talysse ends in book two: The Shadow and the Firefly.
