Cold Hearted by Leia Stone & Julie Hall (Paperback)

Cold Hearted opens the Cursed Fae series with a story built on duty, sacrifice and a curse that never sleeps. Every century, the lands of Faerie fall under a shadow only one person can end. For two thousand years, the princess of the Summer Court has crossed into the mirror realm to claim the heart of an Ethereum Lord and break the cycle before it destroys them all. That burden now rests on one heir alone. Trained from childhood to kill without hesitation, she steps through the portal prepared to take a life for her kingdom. What she finds is not what she expects.

Captured almost instantly, she is dragged before Zander, a royal guard with authority, power and a gaze that unsettles her resolve. To reach her target she must follow his lead, accept his terms and survive long enough to complete her mission. Failure means ruin for Faerie. Success demands a heart stolen through blood. Yet Zander is not the loyal officer he appears to be. Rumours follow him. His past is blurred with half-truths. His loyalty lies somewhere she cannot see. As tensions rise, trust becomes a weapon sharper than any blade. Attraction complicates duty. Each step forward uncovers lies buried beneath legend and law, leaving her questioning the curse, her destiny and the life she was raised to defend.

Cold Hearted blends danger, romance and high stakes into a tale where survival depends on choosing who to believe, and who to kill.
