For centuries, Sky, the Unseelie faerie of winter has dwelled in the forest of her own banishment for a crime she did not commit. Resigned to her fate, she spends her time resting in trees, drinking herself into a stupor of faerie wine. That is, until she meets Delilah, a mortal with a penchant for getting herself into trouble and making deals were deals should not be made. Which Sky would never admit to being impressed by... But when a foe from Sky's winter homeland shows up in her forest, both Delilah and Sky are thrust into a world of cunning and deceit where things are never as they appear, and truth is harsher than even the worst of lies.
