The Prince of Secrets

"The fae are real, and Hetta Valstar is trying her best to marry one. If Hetta ever manages to marry her prince, it will be the first union between Faerie and Mortal since the Iron Law was revoked. The mortal queen has given them her blessing-sort of. Now, Wyn needs permission from the fae High King. There's an intensely personal reason why they need to tie the knot as soon as possible, and time is not on their side. The clock is ticking.

Public tension is rising, and the reveal of Wyn's true identity makes him and Hetta the centre of the storm. The High King might be the only one who can help, since he's responsible for the fae returning to the Mortal Realm in the first place. If only they knew where he was"--Back cover of print version.
