Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely #2) [9780063439726]

Overview

Repackaged in lush new cover art, the second installment in Melissa Marr’s #1 New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series brings readers back to the land of faerie and delivers another stunning, high-stakes romance.

Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.

Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.

The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . .

• Dark Fantasy Romance: Drawn to the dangerous allure of Irial, the king of the Dark Court, Leslie finds herself in a bond that feels like salvation—and possession.
• Urban Fantasy World: Beneath the streets of a modern city, a secret war between the Fae Courts is brewing, and Leslie is about to become an unwilling pawn.
• A Tortured Heroine: Desperate to reclaim a life and body that feel like they’re no longer her own, seventeen-year-old Leslie makes a choice that will change everything.
• Forbidden Love: As she is pulled deeper into the shadows, Leslie must navigate her terrifying connection to a powerful fae king she can’t resist—and the determined protector who wants to save her.
