No one blames you, I mutter the lie without looking up from my tinctures and herbs. I was a fool, Mother whispers from behind me. So, I ponder both my defense and his death, and I pray to any gods that still listen that all will be well. Given the choice, I’d never be in a village like Prudence, but the devil I seek is on his way here. I’ve managed twenty-seven years in a world that is not kind to women, and I’ve lived ten of those on my own. I always have a plan at this point in my life. I worry over the questions that will come when my husband-to-be sees the lash scars on my back, but I have a plan for that, too.
I’ve been tossed in various jails, one dungeon, and even had one whipping-which is, truly, more than anyone needs. While I’m not planning on dying or getting caught, I know that both are possible. Some folks frown upon murder, and if I get caught, I’ll hang for it. If my soon-to-be husband does not kill me, I have to hope that the citizens of Prudence will spare me. Should I survive my next few months, I’d rather not dangle from a noose in the center of town. Contentsįall is upon us as I sit in my stolen cottage and plan.

Thelma Foy, a jeweler with the Second Sight in iron-bedecked 1890s New Orleans, wasn’t expecting to be caught in a faery conflict. In this prequel to the international bestselling WICKED LOVELY series (over a million copies sold), the Faery Courts collide a century before the mortals in Wicked Lovely are born.
