Before there was a Winter King, there was a Summer Queen—Gwendolyn of Cornwall, a warrior princess who raised an army to unite a nation.

Said to be a changeling child left to the King and Queen of Cornwall, Gwendolyn is “blessed” at her cradle by three Fae gifts: a prophecy for her future, a gift of “Reflection,” and a golden mane—literally, every lock of her hair will turn to gold, provided it is cut by her one true love. But no one understands more than Gwendolyn that her blessings are really curses.

Any man who gazes upon her face will see his own heart reflected in Gwendolyn’s countenance, and depending on his nature, she is the loveliest woman in the land… or the most hideous. It’s a cruel jest of the capricious Fae, for unless a man’s heart is true, Gwendolyn is destined to be coveted for her crown, but despised for her face…

To make matters worse, her ailing father is desperate for an alliance with Brutus of Loegria. Offered to Brutus’s ambitious son, Gwendolyn’s heart is tempted by a mysterious half-blood Fae whom she can never wed if she is to fulfill her crib side prophecy.
