Book 1
A fae prince.
A cursed realm.
A girl who won't look away.
Coming - July 25th, 2025
Some boxes should never be opened. Some truths aren’t meant for mortal hearts. And some boys…aren’t who you think they are.
Willow Braselton always believed in fairy tales.
As a child, she glimpsed a magical world no one else could see. At thirteen, she dreamed of a fae prince. And at nineteen, those dreams crystallized into clarity: her prince was real—and he needed her just as much as she needed him.
But no one believed her. Just as no one believed her when she told the truth about what happened during senior year, that night she found herself alone with her adored drama teacher. Not her sisters. Not her father. Not the polished world that told her to smile, look pretty, and stay quiet.
When a renowned folklorist hints that the Old Blood might run in her veins, Willow bolts—trading pearls and parties for the backroads of Appalachia. There, a broad-shouldered local named Cole helps her uncover a fabled relic: an ornate wooden box said to open only for the right ones.
It opens for her.
And it carries her to Eryth—a dazzling fae realm cloaked in sugar-spun beauty and buried rot. There, her prince is real. Serrin, son of the Severine, is heir to a crumbling queendom built on stolen children and stunted dragons. But Serrin is always out of reach, hidden away like something sacred—or something spoiled. And he's fading. Fast.
To save him, Willow must choose who to trust:
—Cole, maddening and mortal, who sees through her masks.
—Serrin, ethereal and aching, whose silence speaks of secrets she cannot yet name.
Neither is exactly who he seems.
As she searches for truth, Willow uncovers a long-buried pattern of betrayal, sacrifice, and survival—one that stretches from the lost children of Eryth to her own bloodline in Hemridge, North Carolina. The closer she gets, the more dangerous her choices become.
Because the Queen’s Box isn’t just a portal. It’s a test.
And it doesn’t just rewrite destiny—it rewrites you.
