Pride and Perdition

A member of the pride has been taken. Oisin is gone—ripped away by the fae king who has hunted him for decades, and who will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes belongs to him. The remaining members of Gesa’s pride are shaken, furious, and barely holding themselves together. But Gesa doesn’t have the luxury of falling apart. With Oisin’s life on the line and a deadly fae ritual already in motion, Gesa must lead her fractured pride straight into hostile fae territory to take back what was stolen. Every instinct she’s fought tells her to run, to protect what remains—but leaving Oisin behind isn’t an option. Not when claiming a pride means claiming responsibility… and admitting just how deeply she loves each and every one of them. As allies reveal themselves in unexpected places and an infuriatingly smug demon insists on helping in his own unsettling way (including, inexplicably, cooking lessons), Gesa is forced to accept just how far-reaching the consequences of her choices have become. Because this isn’t just a rescue. It’s a declaration of war.
