Teagan's wife, Cressidae, is missing. She has left for the Shadow Realm, a kingdom of the dead filled with untold nightmares-and the only place that can save Teagan from a lethal poison that's killing her slowly. It is ruled by a princess said to make powerful deals with those brave enough to find her, and Cressidae has gone to bargain for Teagan's life. Cressidae has forgotten one very important thing: no one makes it out on their own.

Despite the risks to her own safety, Teagan is determined to save her wife-and perhaps even herself in the process. The princess of the Shadow Realm, however, doesn't let mortals roam her territories without opposition. In this thrilling fantasy novella, Teagan and Cressidae must face both the horrors of the Shadow Realm as well as their own past.
