Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham has always been the best at banishing dark entities from the mortal world. Now, she faces an entirely new kind of challenge. As the reluctant queen of the Thorn Land, she is desperately running out of ways to end the brutal war that is actively devastating her mystical kingdom. Her only hope for saving her realm is the Iron Crown, a legendary and terrifying object that even the most powerful creatures fear. Finding and controlling it will require help, but Eugenie is surrounded by shifting loyalties. The seductive fairy king Dorian has his own mysterious agenda, and her shape-shifter ex-boyfriend Kiyo has every reason to betray her. As the war reaches a breaking point, Eugenie must embark on a dangerous quest to claim the Crown. She will face unimaginable temptations that could corrupt her very soul. With the fate of two entirely different worlds resting heavily on her shoulders, Eugenie must decide who to trust, how much power she is willing to wield, and what she is willing to sacrifice to survive.
