Ancient fae lore. A castle in ruins. An heir who must survive winter in a den of Wolves.

Snowbound in a crumbling castle until spring, Sienna is trapped with the dark, brooding Wolf who betrayed her. She knows he's hiding something, and she's determined to uncover it. But the more she learns about him, the harder it is to deny the pull between them—one that could ruin them both.

The only thing more unsettling than the Dead Queen and her mysterious Wolf is the ghost that visits Sienna in the night. It lures her into forbidden dungeons and shadowed corners of the castle, where fae with dark appetites wait to claim her. Sienna can't tell if the wraith is trying to warn her about the castle's secrets or lead her to her death.

When an unexpected visitor washes up on the frozen shore, he brings a warning that turns her blood to ice: the Fox King is coming. Sienna knows her father will stop at nothing to see her dead and the succession secured for his illegitimate son. Her power is volatile, but if she can master it, she won't just defend this cursed castle, she'll kill the Fox King and take his throne for herself.

As copper-clad soldiers and a bloodthirsty king march north, whispers stir in the frost—of broken bargains, ravenous monsters, and ancient fae kings and queens who have slumbered for thousands of years.

The ghost knows something.

The Wolf won't say.

And the ancient fae are done hiding.

Perfect for fans of The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig and Anathema by Keri Lake, The Fox Heir is a gothic romantasy with ancient fae lore, slow-burn spice, enemies-to-lovers romance, and a crumbling castle filled with nightmares.

The Fox Heir is book two in the Thrones of Ruin series.
