Fae Isles #1

Court of Blood and Bindings

Lisette Marshall

4.42

He's the queen's deadliest weapon. She might be his only weakness. Living in a quiet human village, Emelin knows better than to use forbidden magic - but one mistake lands her in the hands of the legendary fae assassin known as the Silent Death.

He's beautiful. Brutal. Voiceless.

And instead of killing her, he offers her a dangerous bargain. To survive, she must join him at the Crimson Court, the glittering heart of fae power and cruelty - to play the part of his lover in a realm where humans are nothing but prey. But Creon is not the monster she expected.

He's worse. He always seems to know what she's thinking. He shields her like it's instinct.

And when his burning gaze lingers on her lips, she forgets what side she's supposed to be on. As rebellion stirs beneath the court's jewelled surface, Emelin finds herself drawn into a game of lies and secrets where every alliance is a risk and every touch could be her ruin. Creon may need her magic to bring down the queen ... but if she lets herself trust him, it won't be just her life on the line.

It will be her heart. Court of Blood and Bindings is the first book in the completed Fae Isles series, an epic enemies to lovers romantasy featuring a morally grey fae executioner, the rebellious human he kidnaps, and their sizzling slow burn romance. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, the first book does contain spicy content intended for 18+ readers.

    Enjoyable book. Really liked the characters, both good and bad, but I found some elements of the book stood out more than others (IYKYK) I will definitely be picking up the next book though! The way the story panned out made me very keen to find out what happens next, and I'm looking forward to it!
