From bestselling indie author Laura Thalassa comes the newly revised and edited second book in her smash-hit dark fantasy romance between a siren and the "bargainer" she owes countless favors to.
She survived the mad king...but the nightmare isn't over.
Siren Callypso Lillis still wears the physical reminders of her time as Karnon's captive, even after reuniting with soulmate Desmond Flynn, the King of Night. Not only that, but mounting evidence suggests the Thief of Souls, the being responsible for the disappearance of countless fae warriors, is still out there.
Invited to an annual Solstice celebration, Callie and Des journey to the Kingdom of Flora to continue their investigation. But under the bright lights and striking blooms of the realm, new complications arise, ones that no amount of bargaining can undo. Soldiers begin to go missing from the gathering, and some of the fae begin to suspect Des is the man behind it all. To Callie, one thing is no one is who they appear to be. Not even her soulmate.
Fairies play dangerous games. Some want love, some want vengeance, some want flesh, and some want horrors too unspeakable to name. Something is stirring in the Land of All that Grows, and if Callie isn't careful, it will claim everything she loves—and her along with it.

Combining dark fantasy, mythology, and romance, speculative fiction frequently explores intense bonds forged between mortal protagonists and powerful supernatural beings. Author Laura Thalassa has written over a dozen novels across fantasy romance, paranormal romance, and post-apocalyptic fiction, establishing a notable body of work that includes the USA Today bestselling Bewitched series and The Four Horsemen series. Her books blend high-stakes mythical danger with emotional tension, offering expansive world-building populated by strong-willed heroines and complex antiheroes.
Born and raised in Fresno, California, Thalassa developed a passion for storytelling early in life, spending much of her childhood inventing fantastic tales alongside her best friend. Having fallen in love with stories as a child, she decided she never wanted to escape them, eventually turning her imaginative childhood hobby into a full-time authorial career. Although she has written post-apocalyptic series, paranormal romance remains her foundational interest and primary artistic passion, serving as the genre that originally drew her into reading. Today, Thalassa lives in sunny Santa Barbara in southern California with her husband, author Dan Rix, and their children. When she is not writing, she can be found reading about lost civilizations, exploring hiking trails, relaxing at the beach, splashing with her kids in the Pacific Ocean, and hoarding chocolate for the apocalypse.
Thalassa's writing style is characterized by fast-paced plotting, immersive supernatural lore, and central relationships grounded in high-stakes conflict. Her narratives consistently feature strong-willed female leads who must navigate challenging circumstances where personal duty directly clashes with dark desire. Whether portraying ancient sorcerers, immortal bargainers, or apocalyptic figures, her work emphasizes dynamic character interactions, indulge-worthy romantic tropes, and perilous atmospheric settings.
