About the book

The second installment in Melissa Marr’s #1 New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series brings readers back to the land of faerie and delivers another stunning, high-stakes romance.

Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.

Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.

The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . .


  • Tattoo Magic: Leslie thinks a tattoo of eyes and wings is a way to reclaim her body. She has no idea the ink will bind her to a world of shadows and power she can’t escape.
  • The Faery Courts: Beyond the mortal world, a centuries-old balance of power is breaking. The Dark Court is vulnerable, and its king, Irial, will do anything to hold it together.
  • Addictive Romance: Drawn to the dangerous allure of the king she’s bound to, Leslie is also protected by a Summer Court faery whose very touch is a forbidden temptation.
  • Dark Fantasy Romance: Set in a modern world of tattoo parlors and high schools, this novel plunges a seventeen-year-old girl into the ancient, brutal politics of the Fae.
