A Strange Hymn by Laura Thalassa (Paperback)

Callypso Lillis has survived the horrors of captivity under the mad king, but new dangers loom. Even reunited with her soulmate, Desmond Flynn, the King of Night, the threat of the Thief of Souls—the entity responsible for the disappearance of countless fae warriors—remains ever present.

Summoned to the Kingdom of Flora for the annual Solstice celebration, Callie and Desmond hope to continue their investigation. Underneath the beauty of the realm, however, complications arise that no bargaining can solve. Soldiers vanish without explanation, and whispers spread that Desmond himself may be responsible. Callie learns that appearances are deceiving, and even those closest to her may not be what they seem.

In this second book of The Bargainer series, the fae world becomes more treacherous, where love, vengeance, and dark desires intermingle. As sinister forces stir in the Land of All that Grows, Callie must navigate dangerous games and protect everything she holds dear—her life, her people, and her heart.
